VEHICLE CARE
Caution (Continued)
from a flat road surface, or to move
the vehicle a short distance. Use
caution and low speeds. The
transmission must be
in (N) Neutral when moving the
vehicle.
GM recommends a flatbed tow truck
to transport a disabled vehicle. Use
ramps to help reduce approach angles,
if necessary. A towed vehicle should
have its drive wheels off the ground.
Contact a professional towing service
if the disabled vehicle must be towed.
The vehicle is equipped with specific
attachment points to be used by the
towing provider. These holes may be
used to pull the vehicle from a flat
road surface onto the flatbed tow
truck.
Recreational Vehicle
Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means
towing the vehicle behind another
vehicle, such as behind a motor home.
The two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are known
as dinghy towing and dolly towing.
Dinghy towing is towing the vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground.
Dolly towing is towing the vehicle
with two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device known as a
dolly.
Here are some important things to
consider before recreational vehicle
towing:
.
Become familiar with the local laws
that apply to recreational vehicle
towing. These laws may vary by
region.
.
The towing capacity of the towing
vehicle. Be sure to read the tow
vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.
.
How far the vehicle will be towed.
Some vehicles have restrictions on
how far and how long they can be
towed.
.
The proper towing equipment. See
your dealer or trailering professional
for additional advice and equipment
recommendations.
.
If the vehicle is ready to be towed.
Just as preparing the vehicle for a
long trip, make sure the vehicle is
prepared to be towed.
Caution
Use of a shield mounted in front of
the vehicle grille could restrict
airflow and cause damage to the
transmission. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
If using a shield, only use one that
attaches to the towing vehicle.
