Models
DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the
drivetrain will result.
Recreational towing (for two-wheel drive mod-
els) is allowed ONLY if the rear wheels are OFF
the ground. This may be accomplished using a
tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a tow dolly,
follow this procedure:
1.
Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle,
following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Shift the
transmission into P ARK.
4. Turn the ignition OFF.
5.
Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly ,
following the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.
6. Install a suitable clamping device, designed
for towing, to secure the front wheels in the
straight position.
CAUTION!
Towing with the rear wheels on the ground
will cause severe transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
