Dinghy Towing

Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles

Notice: If the vehicle is towed
with all four wheels on the
ground, the drivetrain
components could be damaged.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground.

Two-wheel drive vehicles should not
be towed with all four wheels on the
ground. Two-wheel drive

transmissions have no provisions
for internal lubrication while being
towed.

Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles

Use the following procedure to
dinghy tow a four-wheel drive
vehicle:

1. Position the vehicle being towed

behind the tow vehicle and shift
the transmission to P (Park).

2. Turn the engine off and firmly set

the parking brake. See “Parking
Brake” in the owner manual.

3. Securely attach the vehicle

being towed to the tow vehicle.

WARNING

Shifting a four-wheel-drive
vehicle's transfer case into
N (Neutral) can cause the vehicle
to roll even if the transmission is
in P (Park). The driver or others
could be injured. Make sure the
parking brake is firmly set before
the transfer case is shifted to
N (Neutral).

4. Shift the transfer case to

N (Neutral). For more information
on “Shifting into N (Neutral)”, see
“Four Wheel Drive” in the owner
manual.

5. Release the parking brake only

after the vehicle being towed is
firmly attached to the towing
vehicle.

6. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF

and remove the key — the
steering wheel will still turn.
