Dinghy Towing - Hummer H2 2009 Owner's Manual

Dinghy Towing

This full-time four-wheel-drive vehicle can be dinghy
towed from the front. These vehicles can also be towed
by placing them on a platform trailer with all four wheels
off the ground. These vehicles cannot be towed using
a dolly.
Use the following procedure to tow the vehicle:
1. Shift the transmission to P (Park).
2. Turn the engine off, but leave the ignition in
ACC/ACCESSORY.
3. Firmly set the parking brake.
4. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow
vehicle.
CAUTION:
{
Shifting a full-time four-wheel-drive vehicle's
transfer case into N (Neutral) can cause the vehicle
to roll even if the transmission is in P (Park). The
driver or others could be injured. Make sure the
parking brake is firmly set before the transfer case
is shifted to N (Neutral).
5. Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral). See Full-Time
Four-Wheel Drive on page 2-37 for the proper
procedure to select the N (Neutral) position for the
vehicle.
6. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle
being towed is firmly attached to the towing
vehicle.
7. Turn the ignition to ACC/ACCESSORY.
8. Disconnect the battery if the vehicle will be towed
for long distances or long periods of time.
When towing the vehicle for extended periods of time,
start the vehicle as often as possible to prevent
battery drain. This should only be done when the tow
vehicle is parked.
