Towing 1997 Saturn SW

Is there anything special you have to do to a 1997 Saturn SW to flat tow? I know with some Saturns you have to pull a fuse or stop so many miles and run through the gears.

Your owners manual should have all the info you need. I believe there is a section titled Recreational Towing. If you don't have the manual your local Saturn dealer should be able to assist you.

Unfortuantely, we do not have the owners manual and our local Saturn dealer has closed up, but I'll see if I can look one up to call. Thank you.

Just a few thoughts on the owners manual. It should be available on the Internet. eBay, among other sites, lists all sorts of "stuff."

Check FMCA's annual towing guide from way back.

Call REMCO (1-877-645-7169 or www.remcotowing.com) and they'll have that info.

I'm making the assumption that your Saturn is equiped with the automatic transmission and FWD, as are most.

My recollection is that there are one or two fuses to pull, and I don't know which ones.

Do it the same way EVERY TIME.

I own the same vehicle and have towed it 26,000 miles without issue by simply placing the shifter in neutral, turning the ignition switch to the first click from the off position and, in my case (having an automatic transmission), maintaining a towing speed not to exceed 64 m.p.h.

Thank you, that is what I thought but was not sure. I wanted to make sure I did not have to pull any fuses or stop so many miles and shift through the gears.
