TRAILER TOWING

WARNING: Never tow a trailer with this vehicle. Your vehicle is
not equipped to tow. No towing packages are available through

an authorized dealer.

RECREATIONAL TOWING

An example of “recreational towing” is towing your vehicle behind a
motorhome.

Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to
prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Refer to the Climate
controls
chapter for more information.

Note: If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, follow
these instructions:
• Tow only in the forward direction.
• Release the parking brake.
• Place the transmission shift lever in (N) Neutral.
• Place the ignition to the accessory position (refer to Starting in the

Driving chapter).

• Do not exceed 65 mph (105 km/h) but you should always obey local

speed limits.

• Start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes at the beginning

of each day and at each fuel stop.

You also have the option of trailering the vehicle with its front wheels on
a dolly, or trailering with all four wheels off the ground.

For other towing requirements, refer to Wrecker towing in the Roadside
Emergencies
chapter.
