RECREATIONAL TOWING

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow
your vehicle for personal travel (such as behind a recreational vehicle or
moving truck).

In case of roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle, please refer to the

Wrecker towing

section in the

Driving

chapter.

These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not
damaged due to insufficient lubrication.

Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles:

Do not tow your Front Wheel Drive vehicle with the front drive wheels
on the ground as transaxle damage may occur. It is recommended to tow
your vehicle with the front drive wheels on a dolly or use a car-hauling
trailer.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles:

Do not tow your All Wheel Drive vehicle with any wheels on the ground
as vehicle or transaxle damage may occur. It is recommended to tow
your vehicle using a car-hauling trailer.
