A:
For dinghy towing, you must position the vehicle into tow and attach the vehicle being towed. Set the parking brake and turn the ignition into an accessory mode so you can shift the transmission into neutral. Remove the 15 amp ECU fuse to prevent the battery from draining. Once it is ready you can put the 15 amp fuse back in and release the parking brake.
