Recreational Towing – Two-Wheel Drive Models

DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain

This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle
trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:

1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following
the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.

3. Firmly set the parking brake. Place the transmission in
PARK.

4. Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly, following
the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Remove the key fob from ignition switch.

6. Install a suitable clamping device, designed for tow-
ing, to secure the front wheels in the straight position.

CAUTION!

Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will
cause severe transmission damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
