Towing Your Vehicle Behind a Motorhome

Your CR-V can be towed behind a

motorhome at legal highway speeds

up to 65 mph (100 km/h). To avoid

damage to the 4WD system it must

be "flat towed" with all four wheels

on the ground.

When purchasing a tow bar, make

sure you select a reputable

manufacturer and installer. Follow

the manufacturer's attachment

instructions carefully.

After attaching the tow bar to your

motorhome, do the following to

prepare your CR-V for "flat towing":

5-speed Manual Transmission

When preparing to tow your CR-V,

make sure the transmission is

filled to the correct level (see page

222

). Do not overfill.

Release the parking brake.

Shift the transmission to Neutral.

Leave the key in the ignition

switch and the ignition switch in

ACCESSORY (I) so the steering

wheel does not lock. Make sure

the radio and any items plugged

into the accessory power sockets

are turned off so you do not run

down the battery.

Automatic Transmission

When preparing to tow your CR-V,

make sure the transmission is full of

fluid. Maintaining the correct level is

very important. Do not overfill. Do

the following every day immediately

before you begin towing. Follow the

procedure exactly. Otherwise, severe

automatic transmission damage will

occur.
