Dinghy Towing For front-wheel-drive vehicles with manual transaxles only do the following: After dinghy towing, let the engine idle for more than three minutes before driving the vehicle. When dinghy towing, be sure to follow the posted legal speed limit. 1. Put the shift lever in neutral. 2. Turn the ignition to ACC to avoid locking the steering wheel. Make sure the audio system is turned off and that nothing is plugged into the power outlets. 3. Release the parking brake. Do not tow your vehicle from the rear. Your vehicle could be badly damaged and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty. 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 if any of its wheels will be on the ground. 4-31
