10-80 Vehicle Care
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 the vehicle has a
four speed automatic
transmission, it can be dinghy
towed from the front for unlimited
miles at 105 km/h (65 mph).
The vehicle could be damaged If
105 km/h (65 mph) is exceeded
while towing the vehicle. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Never
exceed 105 km/h (65 mph) while
towing the vehicle.
Once the destination has been
reached:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission to
P (Park).
3. Reinstall the 2 amp IGN SW
fuse to the instrument panel
fuse block.
4. Turn the ignition key to
LOCK/OFF and remove the
key from the ignition.
Notice: Too much or too little
fluid can damage the
transmission. Be sure that the
transmission fluid is at the
proper level before towing with
all four wheels on the ground.
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.
Dolly Towing
(All-Wheel Drive Vehicles)
All-wheel drive vehicles should not
be towed with two wheels on the
ground. To properly tow these
vehicles, they should be placed on
a platform trailer with all four wheels
off of the ground or dinghy towed
from the front.
