RECREATIONAL TOWING

An example of “recreational towing” is towing your vehicle behind a
motorhome.

Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to
prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Refer to the Climate
controls
chapter for more information.

Note: If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, follow
these instructions:
• Tow only in the forward direction.
• Release the parking brake.
• Place the transmission shift lever in (N) Neutral.
• Place the ignition in the accessory position (refer to Starting in the

Driving chapter).

• Your vehicle may be towed up to a speed of 75 mph (120km/h), but

you should always obey local speed limits.

You also have the option of trailering the vehicle with its front wheels on
a dolly, or trailering with all four wheels off the ground.

For other towing requirements, refer to Wrecker towing in the Roadside
Emergencies
chapter.
