Saturn 2005 Vue Automobile User Manual


 
To tow your vehicle from the front with all four wheels
on the ground, do the following:
1. Position and attach the vehicle to tow it behind the
recreational vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition key to ACC.
3. Turn fog lamps and all accessories off.
4. If your vehicle has the manual transaxle, shift your
transaxle to NEUTRAL and let the engine run for
three minutes, then turn it off.
If your vehicle has the five-speed automatic
transaxle, shift your transaxle from AUTOMATIC
OVERDRIVE (D) to NEUTRAL (N) and let the
engine run for three minutes. Then turn it off.
Notice: Towing your vehicle after shifting the
automatic transaxle (four-speed or five-speed) from
anything other than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D)
to NEUTRAL (N) can cause internal damage to
the automatic transaxle. Always shift the automatic
transaxle (four-speed or five-speed) from
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) to NEUTRAL (N) as the
last shift before towing.
5. Locate and remove the large IGN fuse from the
underhood fuse block. See Underhood Fuse
Block on page 5-96.
Notice: If you tow your vehicle without performing
each of the steps listed under “Dinghy Towing,”
you could damage the automatic transaxle. Be sure
to follow all steps of the dinghy towing procedure
prior to and after towing your vehicle.
