Dolly Towing; Towing A Trailer (Manual Transmission); Towing A Trailer (Automatic Transmission) - Chevrolet 2008 Cobalt Owner's Manual

Dolly Towing

Your vehicle cannot be dolly towed, but can be dinghy
towed. See "Dinghy Towing" earlier in this section.
Notice: Dolly towing your vehicle may cause
damage because of reduced ground clearance.
Always tow your vehicle using the dinghy towing
procedure listed in this section or put your vehicle
on a flatbed truck.
Towing a Trailer
(Manual Transmission)
Do not tow a trailer if your vehicle is equipped with a
manual transmission. If you have the Cobalt Sport, you
can tow a trailer. See "Towing a Trailer" in the Index for
more information.

Towing a Trailer
(Automatic Transmission)
CAUTION:
{
If you do not use the correct equipment and
drive properly, you can lose control when you
pull a trailer. For example, if the trailer is too
heavy, the brakes may not work well — or even
at all. You and your passengers could be
seriously injured. You may also damage your
vehicle; the resulting repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Pull a trailer only if
you have followed all the steps in this section.
Ask your dealer/retailer for advice and
information about towing a trailer with your
vehicle.
