â– RECREATIONAL
VEHICLE TOWING
If you decide to tow your vehicle
behind another vehicle for use at
your destination, be sure to use
the proper towing equipment.
Follow all instructions that come
with the towing equipment.
The most common methods for

• towing your vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground
• towing your vehicle with two
wheels on the ground and two
wheels up on a dolly
• towing your vehicle on a
platform trailer, with all four
wheels off the ground
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE WITH
ALL FOUR WHEELS ON THE
GROUND
Your vehicle was not designed to
be towed with all four wheels on
the ground.
NOTICE
Towing the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground will
damage drivetrain
components.
The repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
