Transporting the Vehicle
Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.
-
Properly load the vehicle onto the trailer or towing vehicle.
-
Shift to PARK (P) and verify the PARK position is displayed in the gauge.
-
Slowly release the brake pedal and ensure the vehicle does not roll.
-
Turn the engine off and turn the key back to the ON position, without restarting the engine. The key switch must remain in the ON position for the entire securing process.
-
Next, set the Dynamix to COMFORT mode, if equipped. This will ensure the shocks are operating at their minimum damping setting. Failure to do so can lead to a reduction of intended strap tension while trailering.
-
Ensure that all seats are attached correctly and are not loose.
-
Secure the fuel cap, and doors (if equipped).
-
Using suitable straps, secure the vehicle to the trailer at the designated tie-down points (front and rear). The straps must be secured in a manner that provides support in all directions. Ensure that the straps are not making contact with any other part of the trailer or cargo, and that they are set with enough tension as to compress the suspension and prevent vehicle movement during transport.
-
After the vehicle has been secured, verify the gauge indicates PARK, and turn the vehicle power off. Verify also that the suspension compression damping values are still soft after securing the vehicle. If after securing the suspension demo mode has timed out or the suspension has moved to a FIRM setting as indicated on the Suspension control screen, cycle the key switch, place the mode switch in COMFORT mode, and re-tighten the straps per step number 3. Remove the key to prevent loss during transporting.
-
Periodically inspect the vehicle and trailer during transit. Adjust cargo and straps as needed to ensure that the cargo cannot shift, or fall from the trailer or towing vehicle.
