Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Here are some important things to consider before
recreational vehicle towing:

.

What's the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?
Be sure to read the tow vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.

.

How far will the vehicle be towed? Some vehicles
have restrictions on how far and how long they
can tow.

.

Does the vehicle have the proper towing
equipment? See your dealer or trailering
professional for additional advice and equipment
recommendations.

.

Is the vehicle ready to be towed? Just as preparing
the vehicle for a long trip, make sure the vehicle is
prepared to be towed. See Before Leaving on a
Long Trip on page 5‑13
.

Dinghy Towing

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.

The vehicle was not designed to be towed with all
four wheels on the ground. Use a dolly if the vehicle
must be towed. See “Dolly Towing” later in this section
for more information.
