Recreational Towing – Two-Wheel Drive Models

DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain
will result.

Recreational towing (for two-wheel drive models) is
allowed ONLY if the rear wheels are OFF the ground.
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 apply the parking brake. Shift the transmission

into PARK.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

5. Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly, following

the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
