Towing Your Vehicle

Consult your dealer or a professional towing
service if you need to have your disabled vehicle
towed. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 504.
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 known as a "dolly").
Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with
any of its wheels on the ground. If your vehicle
must be towed, see "Towing Your Vehicle" earlier
in this section.
Notice: Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle with
all four wheels on the ground, or even with
only two of its wheels on the ground, will
damage drivetrain components. Do not tow an
all-wheel-drive vehicle if any of its wheels
will be on the ground.
Electronically Controlled Air
Suspension System
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled air suspension system that automatically
keeps your vehicle level as you load and unload.
The system includes a compressor, two height
sensors, and two air springs supporting the
rear axle.
The system also has an internal clock to prevent
overheating. If the system overheats, all leveling
function stops until the system cools down.
During this time, the indicator light on the air
inflator system will be flashing.
