RECREATIONAL TOWING

Follow these guidelines for your specific powertrain combination to tow

your vehicle for personal travel (such as behind a recreational vehicle or

moving truck).

In case of roadside emergency with a disabled vehicle, please refer to the

Wrecker towing section in the Driving chapter.

These guidelines are designed to ensure that your transmission is not

damaged due to insufficient lubrication.

Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles:

Do not tow your Front Wheel Drive vehicle with the front drive wheels

on the ground as transaxle damage may occur. It is recommended to tow

your vehicle with the front drive wheels on a dolly or use a car-hauling

trailer.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles:

Do not tow your All Wheel Drive vehicle with any wheels on the ground

as vehicle or transaxle damage may occur. It is recommended to tow

your vehicle using a car-hauling trailer.
