Dinghy Towing (1.5L Engine without Active Shutters. RPO VRI)
Vehicles with active shutters cannot be dinghy towed.
To dinghy tow the vehicle from the front with all four wheels on the ground:
1. Position the vehicle to tow and then secure it to the towing vehicle.
2. Start the engine and place vehicle in N (Neutral).
3. Press ENGINE START/STOP once to turn the engine off. See Ignition Positions 0 227.
4. To prevent the battery from draining while the vehicle is being towed, remove fuses F10 and F41, from the instrument panel fuse block.
See Instrument Panel Fuse Block 0 317.
Remember to reinstall the fuses once the destination has been reached
