Dinghy Towing
When dinghy towing a vehicle with
an automatic transmission, the
vehicle should be run at the
beginning of each day and at each
RV fuel stop for about five minutes.
This will ensure proper lubrication of
transmission components.
To dinghy tow the vehicle from the
front with all four wheels on the
ground:
1. Position the vehicle to tow and
then secure it to the towing
vehicle.
2. Shift an automatic transmission
to P (Park) or a manual
transmission into 1 (First) gear
and turn the ignition off.
3. Set the parking brake.
4. To prevent the battery from
draining while the vehicle is
being towed, remove the DLIS
fuse from the instrument panel
fuse block. See Instrument
Panel Fuse Block 0 251.
5. For Keyless Access vehicles,
to prevent the battery from
draining while the vehicle is
being towed, remove the
BCM1 and BCM2 fuses from
the instrument panel fuse
block, and fuse 7 from the
engine compartment fuse
block. See Instrument Panel
Fuse Block 0 251 and Engine
Compartment Fuse Block
0 249.
6. Turn the ignition to ACC/
ACCESSORY.
7. Shift the transmission to
N (Neutral).
8. Release the parking brake.
Reinstall the fuses once the
destination has been reached.
