Dinghy Towing - Saturn 2009 AURA Owner's Manual

Here are some important things to consider before
recreational vehicle towing:
•
What's the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?
Be sure to read the tow vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.
•
How far will the vehicle be towed? Some vehicles
have restrictions on how far and how long they
can tow.
•
Does the vehicle have the proper towing
equipment? See your dealer/retailer or trailering
professional for additional advice and equipment
recommendations.
•
Is the vehicle ready to be towed? Just as preparing
the vehicle for a long trip, make sure the vehicle is
prepared to be towed. See Before Leaving on a
Long Trip on page 4-16.

Dinghy Towing

When dinghy towing, the vehicle should be run at
the beginning of each day and at each RV fuel stop for
about five minutes. This will ensure proper lubrication of
transmission components.
To dinghy tow the vehicle from the front with all four
wheels on the ground:
1. Position the vehicle to tow and then secure it to the
towing vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission to P (Park) and turn the
ignition to LOCK/OFF.
