Recreational Towing — Gasoline Engine All Models
Recreational towing is allowed ONLY if the front wheels are OFF the ground. This may
be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this
procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Place the transmission in PARK.
4. Properly secure the front wheels to the dolly, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
5. Release the parking brake.
• DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with a conventional automatic trans-
mission. Damage to the drivetrain will result. If these vehicles require towing,
make sure all drive wheels are OFF the ground.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE:
Automated Manual transmission (diesel) vehicles can also be flat towed (all four
wheels on the ground) with the transmission in NEUTRAL. Ensure the transmission
is in neutral (N) (by checking that the vehicle moves when pushed) and tow in the
same way as a normal vehicle with a manual transmission.
CAUTION!
