Towing a Trailer, Towing Your Vehicle Behind a Motorhome Towing a Trailer Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your warranties. 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. When purchasing a tow bar, make sure you select a reputable manufacturer and installer. Follow the manufacturer's attachment instructions carefully. Automatic transmission: Perform the following procedure every day immediately before you begin towing. Otherwise severe automatic transmission damage will occur. 1. Check the transmission fluid level (see page 259). Do not overfill. 2. Start the engine. 3. Press on the brake pedal. Move the shift lever through all its positions. 4. Shift to the D position and hold for 5 seconds, then to N. Let the engine run for 3 minutes, then turn it off. The steering system can be damaged if the steering wheel is locked. Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position, and make sure the steering wheel turns freely before you begin towing. Severe transmission damage will occur if the vehicle is shifted from reverse to neutral and then towed with the drive wheels on the ground. 238
