Dinghy Towing - Cadillac 2006 CTS-V Owner's Manual

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 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 4-24.

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four
wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must be towed,
