Towing Your Vehicle Behind a Motorhome Your vehicle can be towed behind a motorhome at legal highway speeds up to 65 mph (100 km/h). Do not exceed 65 mph (100 km/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. Perform the following procedure everyday immediately before you begin towing. Otherwise severe automatic transmission damage will occur. On models with automatic transmission Press on the brake pedal. Move the shift lever through all its positions. Shift to D, then to N. Let the engine run for three minutes, then turn it off. Release the parking brake. Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position 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 you stop towing your vehicle and shift out of the Neutral position, you may not be able to move the shift lever from Neutral to Reverse or Park. In this case, press the brake pedal and turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, then shift out of Neutral. On models with manual transmission Check the transmission fluid level (see page 188 ). Do not overfill. Release the parking brake. Shift to Neutral. Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position 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. Driving Check the transmission fluid level (see page 187 ). Do not overfill. Start the engine. CONTINUED 165
