using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a tow
dolly, follow this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle,
following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Place
automatic transmission in PARK.
4. Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly,
following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
5. Turn the ignition to the OFF position and
remove the key fob.
6. Install a suitable clamping device, designed
for towing, to secure the front wheels in the
straight position.
