4-22 Driving Your Vehicle
For vehicles being dinghy towed,
the vehicle should be run at
the beginning of each day and at
each RV fuel stop for about
five minutes. This will ensure proper
lubrication of transmission
components. Re-install the fuse to
start the vehicle.
To tow the vehicle from the front
with all four wheels on the ground:
1. Position the vehicle to tow and
then secure it to the towing
vehicle.
2. Shift the transmission to P (Park)
and turn the ignition to
LOCK/OFF.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. Turn the ignition to
ACC/ACCESSORY.
5. Shift the transmission to
N (Neutral).
6. To prevent the battery from
draining while the vehicle is being
towed, remove the 50 amp
BATT1 fuse from the underhood
fuse block and store in a safe
location. See Underhood
Fuse Block on page 5-94.
7. Release the parking brake.
Notice: If the vehicle is towed
without performing each of
the steps listed under "Dinghy
Towing," the automatic
transmission could be damaged.
Be sure to follow all steps of
the dinghy towing procedure prior
to and after towing the vehicle.
Notice: If 65 mph (105 km/h)
is exceeded while towing
the vehicle, it could be damaged.
Never exceed 65 mph (105 km/h)
while towing the vehicle.
Once the destination is reached:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Reinstall the 50 amp BATT1 fuse
to the underhood fuse block.
3. Shift the transmission to P (Park),
turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF
and remove the key from
the ignition.
4. Disconnect the vehicle from the
towing vehicle.
Notice: Do not tow a vehicle
with the front drive wheels on the
ground if one of the front tires
is a compact spare tire. Towing
with two different tire sizes on the
front of the vehicle can cause
severe damage to the
transmission.
