Drive the rear wheels onto the dolly. 3. Firmly set the parking brake. See Parking Brake on page 2-33. 4. Put the transmission in P (Park). 5. Secure the vehicle to the dolly following the manufacturer's instructions. 6. Use an adequate clamping device designed for towing to ensure that the front wheels are locked into the straight position. 7. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF. Dolly Towing (All-Wheel-Drive Vehicles) Notice: Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, or even with only two of its wheels on the ground, will damage drivetrain components. Do not tow an all-wheel-drive vehicle with any of its wheels on the ground. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles can only be towed on a flat-bed truck or trailer. Towing a Trailer (Vehicles Without Heavy Duty Cooling) Vehicles without heavy duty cooling are neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer. Dolly Towing (STS-V) Notice: Dolly towing or dinghy towing the vehicle may cause damage because of reduced ground clearance. Always put the vehicle on a flatbed truck. The STS-V can only be towed on a flat-bed truck or trailer. 4-31
