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.
