Towing
Towing the Vehicle
Notice: Incorrectly towing a
disabled vehicle may cause
damage. The damage would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Have the vehicle towed on a flatbed
car carrier or a wheel lift tow truck.
If a wheel lift tow truck is used, the
drive wheels cannot contact the
road while the vehicle is being
towed. A wheel dolly must be used
to lift all drive wheels off the ground.
Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
To tow the vehicle behind another
vehicle for recreational purposes,
such as behind a motor home, see
Recreational Vehicle Towing in this
section.

Recreational vehicle towing means
towing the vehicle behind another
vehicle such as behind a
motorhome. The two most common
types of recreational vehicle towing
are known as dinghy towing
(towing the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground) and dolly
towing (towing the vehicle with two
wheels on the ground and two
wheels up on a device known as a
dolly).
