HONDA 2001 CR-V - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 193)

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.
