Recreational Vehicle
Towing
Recreational vehicle towing
means towing the vehicle
behind another vehicle, such
as behind a motor home. The
two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are
known as dinghy towing and
dolly towing. Dinghy towing is towing the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground. Dolly
towing is towing the vehicle
with two wheels on the
ground and two wheels up on
a device known as a dolly.
Here are some important
things to consider before
recreational vehicle towing:
.Before towing the vehicle,
become familiar with the
local laws that apply to
recreational vehicle towing.
These laws may vary by
region.
.What is the towing capacity
of the towing vehicle? Be
sure to read the tow vehicle
manufacturer's
recommendations.
.How far will the vehicle be
towed? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and
how long they can tow.
.Does the vehicle have the
proper towing equipment?
See your dealer or trailering
professional for additional
advice and equipment
recommendations.
.Is the vehicle ready to be
towed? Just as preparing
the vehicle for a long trip,
make sure the vehicle is
prepared to be towed.
Caution
Use of a shield mounted in
front of the vehicle grille
could restrict airflow and
cause damage to the
electric drive unit. The
repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. If using a shield,
only use one that attaches
to the towing vehicle.

The vehicle was not designed
to be towed with all four

must be towed, a dolly should
be used. See
“Dolly Towing”

cause damage to the drive
units. Do not dolly tow the
vehicle if it is equipped with
All-Wheel Drive (AWD).
Towing the Vehicle from the
Front
The vehicle was not designed
to be dolly towed from the
front.
Towing the Vehicle from

rear with the front wheels on
the ground: 1. Put the rear wheels on a dolly.

factory. Use a de-icing agent
only when absolutely
necessary, and have the locks
greased after using. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0379.
Washing the Vehicle
To preserve the vehicle's
finish, wash it often and out of
direct sunlight.
Caution
Do not use
petroleum-based, acidic,
or abrasive cleaning agents
as they can damage the
vehicle's paint, metal,
or plastic parts. If damage
occurs, it would not be
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Approved cleaning
products can be obtained
from your dealer. Follow all
manufacturer directions
regarding correct product
usage, necessary safety
precautions, and
appropriate disposal of any
vehicle care product.

non-uniform finish. Clean low
gloss stripes with soap and
water only.
Air Intakes
Clear debris from the air
intakes, between the hood and
windshield, when washing the
vehicle.
Windshield and Wiper
Blades
Clean the outside of the
windshield with glass cleaner.
Clean rubber blades using a
lint-free cloth or paper towel
soaked with windshield
washer fluid or a mild
detergent. Wash the
windshield thoroughly when
cleaning the blades. Bugs,
road grime, sap, and a buildup
of vehicle wash/wax
treatments may cause wiper
streaking.Replace the wiper blades if
they are worn or damaged.
Damage can be caused by
extreme dusty conditions,
sand, salt, heat, sun, snow,
and ice.
Weatherstrips
Apply weatherstrip lubricant
on weatherstrips to make
them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak.
Lubricate weatherstrips at
least once a year. Hot, dry
climates may require more
frequent application. Black
marks from rubber material on
painted surfaces can be
removed by rubbing with a
clean cloth. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
0379.
Tires
Use a stiff brush with tire
cleaner to clean the tires.
Caution
Using petroleum-based tire
dressing products on the
vehicle may damage the
paint finish and/or tires.
When applying a tire
dressing, always wipe off
any overspray from all
painted surfaces on the
vehicle.
Wheels and Wheel Trim
Use a soft, clean cloth with
mild soap and water to clean
the wheels. After rinsing
thoroughly with clean water,
dry with a soft, clean towel.
A wax may then be applied.

wheel trim may be damaged
if the vehicle is not washed

appearance and feel of the
vinyl/rubber and can make
the floor slippery. Your foot
could slip while operating
the vehicle, and you could
lose control, resulting in a
crash. You or others could
be injured.
Fabric/Carpet/Suede
Start by vacuuming the
surface using a soft brush
attachment. If a rotating
vacuum brush attachment is
being used, only use it on the
floor carpet. Before cleaning,
gently remove as much of the
soil as possible:
.Gently blot liquids with a
paper towel. Continue
blotting until no more soil
can be removed.
.For solid soils, remove as
much as possible prior to
vacuuming.To clean:
1. Saturate a clean, lint-free colorfast cloth with water.
Microfiber cloth is
recommended to prevent
lint transfer to the fabric or
carpet.
2. Remove excess moisture by gently wringing until water
does not drip from the
cleaning cloth.
3. Start on the outside edge of the soil and gently rub
toward the center. Fold the
cleaning cloth to a clean
area frequently to prevent
forcing the soil into the
fabric.
4. Continue gently rubbing the soiled area until there is no
longer any color transfer
from the soil to the cleaning
cloth.
5. If the soil is not completely removed, use a mild soap
solution followed only by
plain water. If the soil is not completely
removed, it may be necessary
to use a commercial
upholstery cleaner or spot
lifter. Test a small hidden area
for colorfastness before using
a commercial upholstery
cleaner or spot lifter. If ring
formation occurs, clean the
entire fabric or carpet.
After cleaning, use a paper
towel to blot excess moisture.
Cleaning High Gloss
Surfaces and Vehicle
Information and Radio
Displays
Use a microfiber cloth on high
gloss surfaces or vehicle
displays. First, use a soft
bristle brush to remove dirt
that can scratch the surface.
Then gently clean by rubbing
with a microfiber cloth. Never
use window cleaners or
solvents. Periodically hand
wash the microfiber cloth
separately, using mild soap. Do

Scheduling Service
Appointments
When the vehicle requires
warranty service, contact your
dealer and request an
appointment. By scheduling a
service appointment and
advising the service
consultant of your
transportation needs, your
dealer can help minimize your
inconvenience.
If the vehicle cannot be
scheduled into the service
department immediately, keep
driving it until it can be
scheduled for service, unless,
of course, the problem is
safety related. If it is, please
call your dealership, let them
know this, and ask for
instructions.
If your dealer requests you to
bring the vehicle for service,
you are urged to do so as

Customer Information 393
Aftermarket parts are not
covered by the GM New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, and
any vehicle failure related to
such parts is not covered by
that warranty.
Repair Facility
GM also recommends that you
choose a collision repair
facility that meets your needs
before you ever need collision
repairs. Your dealer may have
a collision repair center with
GM-trained technicians and
state-of-the-art equipment,
or be able to recommend a
collision repair center that has
GM-trained technicians and
comparable equipment.
Insuring the Vehicle
Protect your investment in the
GM vehicle with
comprehensive and collision
insurance coverage. There are
significant differences in the
quality of coverage afforded
by various insurance policy
terms. Many insurance policiesprovide reduced protection to
the GM vehicle by limiting
compensation for damage
repairs by using aftermarket
collision parts. Some insurance
companies will not specify
aftermarket collision parts.
When purchasing insurance,
we recommend that you
ensure that the vehicle will be
repaired with GM original
equipment collision parts.
If such insurance coverage is
not available from your
current insurance carrier,
consider switching to another
insurance carrier.
If the vehicle is leased, the
leasing company may require
you to have insurance that
ensures repairs with Genuine
GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer
replacement parts. Read the
lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of the
lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help.
Do not leave the scene of a
crash until all matters have
been taken care of. Move the
vehicle only if its position puts
you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a
police officer.
Give only the necessary
information to police and other
parties involved in the crash.
For emergency towing see
Roadside Service
0388.
Gather the following
information:
.Driver name, address, and
telephone number
.Driver license number
