Recreational Vehicle Towing - Chevrolet 2001 Cavalier Owner's Manual

Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged. You will need a well
restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.
Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour or so until help comes.

out, it may be necessary to do one of the following:

If the vehicle is towed at a large angle, or if the vehicle
experiences significant braking forces, the trunk "open"
sensor may be actuated, enabling content theft and
sounding the horn (while in tow).
Prior to towing do not lock your car doors with the
remote keyless entry transmitter. Do not enable the
content theft feature.
Remove the BCM/CLU fuse in the instrument panel
fuse block. This is located under the driver's side
instrument panel cover. After towing, remember to
reinstall the fuse to restore normal vehicle operation.
