TOWING YOUR VEHICLE BEHIND ANOTHER
VEHICLE
At times, you may want to tow your vehicle behind
another vehicle, such as a recreational vehicle, car
or a truck.
Before you have your vehicle towed:
• Release the parking brake.
• Move the gearshift to N (Neutral).
• Turn the key in the ignition to OFF.
• Unlock the steering wheel.
Do not tow your vehicle at a speed faster than 56
km/h (35 mph) or for a distance greater than 80 km
(50 miles), unless the drive wheels are placed on
dollies.
Never use a tow bar that attaches to the
bumper when you tow your vehicle. This
could damage the bumper and cause an accident.
