2003 Honda CR-V Owner's Manual - Page 225

Towing Your Vehicle Behind a Motorhome Your CR-V can be towed behind a motorhome at legal highway speeds up to 65 mph(100 km/h). Do not exceed 65 mph(100km/h). Otherwise, severe transmission damage will occur. To avoid damage to the 4WD system, it must be towed with all four wheels on the ground (flat towing). When purchasing a tow bar, 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 Automatic Transmission When preparing to tow your CR-V, make sure the transmission is filled to the correct level (see page 261 ). Do not overfill. Release the parking brake. Shift the transmission to Neutral. 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. When preparing to tow your CR-V, make sure the transmission is full of fluid (see page 260 ). Maintaining the correct level is very important. Do not overfill. Do the following every day immediately before you begin towing. Follow the procedure exactly. Otherwise, severe automatic transmission damage will occur. 224 Driving
