Hey Ray, I was able to find the instructions in the owner's manual on how to setup your GMC Canyon for flat towing. Basically what you're going to want to do is:
1. Position the vehicle being towed behind the tow vehicle, facing forward and on a level surface.
2. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle.
3. Apply the parking brake and start the engine.
4. Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral).
5. With the engine running, release the parking brake and verify that the transfer case is in N?(Neutral) by shifting the transmission to D?(Drive) and then to R? (Reverse). There should be no movement while shifting the transmission.
6. Shift the transmission to P (Park).
7. Release the parking brake.
8. Turn the vehicle off.
9. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine. To do this, take your foot off the brake pedal then press and hold ENGINE START/STOP for five seconds until the green light on the button is illuminated.
10. Disconnect the negative (–) battery cable. See “Negative Battery Cable Disconnection” in Battery.
11. Move the steering wheel to make sure the steering column is unlocked.
12. Verify the transmission is in P?(Park). Failing to put the transmission into P?(Park) before flat towing can damage the transmission.
13. Keep the remote key outside of the vehicle and manually lock the doors. Access the vehicle by using the key in the door lock.
