Dinghy Towing (All Transaxles)
Notice: Dolly towing or dinghy towing your
vehicle may cause damage because of reduced
ground clearance. Always tow your vehicle
using the dolly towing or dinghy towing
procedure listed in this section or put your
vehicle on a flatbed truck.
To tow your vehicle from the front with all four
wheels on the ground, do the following:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition key to ACC (Accessory) to
unlock the steering wheel.
3. Shift your transaxle to NEUTRAL.
4. Release the parking brake.
To prevent battery rundown on long trips, remove
the IP BATT 2 fuse (#41) from the engine
compartment fuse block. See Engine Compartment
Fuse Block on page 378 for more information.
Once you have reached your destination, be sure
to replace this fuse back into its original location.
Notice: If you exceed 65 mph (105 km/h) while
towing your vehicle, it could be damaged.
Never exceed 65 mph (105 km/h) while towing
your vehicle.
Notice: Towing your vehicle from the rear
could damage it. Also, repairs would not
be covered by the warranty. Never have your
vehicle towed from the rear.
Notice: Don't tow a vehicle with the front
drive wheels on the ground if one of the front
tires is a compact spare tire. Towing with
two different tire sizes on the front of the
vehicle can cause severe damage to the
transaxle.
