Towing; Towing Your Vehicle; Recreational Vehicle Towing; Towing A Trailer - Cadillac XLR-V 2006 Owner's Manual

If you put things inside your vehicle — like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else — they will go as
fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they will keep going.
CAUTION:
{
Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn,
or in a crash.
•
Put things in the rear area of your vehicle.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
•
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the seats.
•
Do not leave an unsecured child restraint
in your vehicle.
•
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.

Towing

Towing Your Vehicle

Consult your dealer or a professional towing service
if you need to have your disabled vehicle towed.
See Roadside Service on page 8-6.

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.

Towing a Trailer

Your XLR is neither designed nor intended to tow
a trailer.
