Towing Your Vehicle Behind a Motorhome Towing Your Vehicle Behind a Motorhome Your CR-V can be towed behind a motorhome at legal highway speeds. The vehicle must be "flat towed" with all four wheels on the ground. When purchasing a tow bar or tow dolly, make sure you select a reputable manufacturer and installer. Follow the manufacturer's attachment instructions carefully. After attaching the tow bar to your motorhome, do the following to prepare your CR-V for "flat towing": 5-speed Manual Transmission Leave the key in the ignition switch and the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) so the steering wheel does not lock. Make sure the radio and any items plugged into the accessory power sockets are turned off so you do not run down the battery. Automatic Transmission Leave the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) so the steering wheel does not lock. Make sure the radio and any items plugged into the accessory power sockets are turned off so you do not run down the battery. NOTICE The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked. Leave the ignition switch in Accessory (I), and make sure the steering wheel turns freely before you begin towing. Make sure the transmission is full of fluid (see page 207 ). Release the parking brake. Start the engine. Press on the brake pedal. Shift to D, then to N. Turn off the engine. Leave the key in the ignition switch. NOTICE Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly.

Release the parking brake. Shift the transmission to Neutral. Driving
