Towing

Towing Your Vehicle

Consult your dealer/retailer or a professional towing

service if you need to have your disabled vehicle towed.

See Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-6.

If you want to tow your vehicle behind another vehicle for

recreational purposes (such as behind a motorhome),

see “Recreational Vehicle Towing” following.

Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle

behind another vehicle – such as behind a motorhome.

The two most common types of recreational vehicle

towing are known as “dinghy towing” (towing your vehicle

with all four wheels on the ground) and “dolly towing”

(towing your vehicle with two wheels on the ground and

two wheels up on a device know as a “dolly”).

With the proper preparation and equipment, many

vehicles can be towed in these ways. See “Dinghy

Towing” and “Dolly Towing,” following.

Here are some important things to consider before you

do recreational vehicle towing:

• What’s the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?

Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer’s

recommendations.

• How far will you tow? Some vehicles have

restrictions on how far and how long they can tow.

• Do you have the proper towing equipment?

See your dealer/retailer or trailering professional for

additional advice and equipment recommendations.

• Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as you

would prepare your vehicle for a long trip, you’ll

want to make sure your vehicle is prepared to be

towed. See Before Leaving on a Long Trip on

page 4-15.

Dinghy Towing

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all of its

wheels on the ground. It can be towed with the two rear

wheels on the ground. See “Dolly Towing” following for

more information.

Dolly Towing

To dolly tow your vehicle, do the following:

1. Put the front wheels on a dolly.

2. Put the vehicle in PARK (P).

3. Set the parking brake and then remove the key.

4. Clamp the steering wheel in a straight-ahead

position with a clamping device designed for towing.

5. Release the parking brake.
