4. Shift the transaxle from DRIVE (D) to
NEUTRAL (N) and let the engine run for
three minutes. Then turn it off.
Due to transaxle fluid drain back, the transaxle
lubrication procedure in Step 4 is required
every seven hours after the initial procedure
has been completed, regardless of the vehicle
being towed or parked. Once the procedure
is performed, the transaxle is adequately
lubricated and can be recreational vehicle
towed for seven hours prior to repeating the
lubrication procedure.
As an example, if you initially perform the
lubrication procedure and tow your vehicle for
three hours, then park for four hours, the
lubrication procedure will need to be
performed again, prior to dinghy towing the
vehicle.
Notice: Towing your vehicle after shifting the
transaxle from anything other than DRIVE (D)
to NEUTRAL (N) can cause internal damage to
the transaxle. Always shift the transaxle
from DRIVE (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 382.
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.
Notice: Your vehicle can be dinghy towed
from the front for unlimited miles at 65 mph
(105 km/h). If you exceed 65 mph (105 km/h)
while towing your vehicle, it could be damaged.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Never exceed 65 mph (105 km/h)
while towing your vehicle.
