I just purchased an Acme EZ Tow Dolly for my 2012 Chevy Cruze. This is my first time to use a dolly and could use some help with a couple of questions. The Cuze is Automatic so dolly was my only cho...

I wanted to thank everyone for their input. After your input and much testing/research, this is what will be required for a Acme Tow Dolly and an Automatic Transmission 2012 Chevy Cruze.
First the Cruze manual directions for dolly towing:
1.Shift the automatic transmission into P(Park) or manual transmission into 1(First) gear
2. Clamp the steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a clamping device
3. Remove the key from ignition
4. Secure to dolly
This can NOT be used for an Acme EZ Tow Dolly
This would be used on dolly's with swiveling plates for the toad’s front wheels to set on or a rack & pinion wheel base where the dolly’s wheels swivel.
This is the procedure I will need to use for the Cruze with this dolly.
1. Shift automatic transmission into (P)Park
2. Turn ignition key to Accessory
3. Remove fuses 22, 23, 24 and 25 ( I will be replacing these with a Fuse ByPass Switch for Towed Vehicles - 2 ATM Mini-Fuse) I will need 2 switches to disable all 4.
4. Secure dolly
Removing the above fuses will eliminate battery drain and unlock the steering so it is compatible with the Acme EZ Tow Dolly. Fuse 25 is steering column lock, 22 is for ignition/electronic key system and 23/24 are body control modules.
