416 Vehicle Care
Two-wheel-drive vehicles should not
be towed with the rear wheels on
the ground. Two-wheel-drive
transmissions have no provisions
for internal lubrication while being
towed.
To dolly tow a two-wheel-drive
vehicle, the vehicle must be towed
with the rear wheels on the dolly.
See “Rear Towing (Rear Wheels Off
the Ground)” later in this section.

to roll even if the transmission is
in P (Park). You or others could
be injured. Set the parking brake

to N (Neutral).
5. Use a clamping device
designed for towing to ensure
that the front wheels are locked
into the straight position.
6. Secure the vehicle to the dolly
following the manufacturer's
instructions.
