Caution
When using tow straps to move
the vehicle, damage may occur if
the tow straps contact the rear
fascia. Do not let the tow straps
contact the rear fascia.
If you cannot access the front
torque box openings, wrap a tow
strap through one, or both of the
rear trailing arms (1) between the
bushing and torque tube, and pull
the vehicle onto a flat surface. Do
not wrap the tow strap around the
rear torque tube (2).
Recreational Vehicle
Towing
Recreational vehicle towing refers to
towing the vehicle behind another
vehicle such as 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:
.
The towing capacity of the
towing vehicle. Read the tow
vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.
.
How far the vehicle can be
towed. Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.
.
Whether the vehicle has the
proper towing equipment. See
your dealer or trailering
professional for additional advice
and equipment
recommendations.
.
Whether 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
electric drive unit. The repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. If using a shield,
only use one that attaches to the
towing vehicle.
