Dinghy Towing

Front-wheel‐drive and

all-wheel-drive vehicles may be

dinghy towed from the front. These

vehicles can also be towed by

placing them on a platform trailer

with all four wheels off of the

ground. For other towing options,

see “Dolly Towing” following in this

section.

For vehicles being dinghy towed,

the vehicle should be run at the

beginning of each day and at each

RV fuel stop for about five minutes.

This will ensure proper lubrication of

transmission components.

To tow the vehicle from the front

with all four wheels on the ground:

1. Position the vehicle that will be

towed and secure it to the

towing vehicle.

2. Turn the ignition key to

ACC/ACCESSORY.

3. Shift the transmission to

N (Neutral).

4. Turn all accessories off.

5. To prevent the battery from

draining while the vehicle is

being towed, remove fuse 32,

the Discrete Logic Ignition

Switch fuse, from the instrument

panel fuse block and store it in a

safe location. See Instrument

Panel Fuse Block on page 9‑40.

Notice: If the vehicle is towed

without performing each of the

steps listed under “Dinghy

Towing,” the automatic

transmission could be damaged.

Be sure to follow all steps of the

dinghy towing procedure prior to

and after towing the vehicle.

Notice: If 105 km/h (65 mph) is

exceeded while towing the

vehicle, it could be damaged.

Never exceed 105 km/h (65 mph)

while towing the vehicle.
