All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles can be towed with all four wheels on the

ground or with all four wheels off the ground using a vehicle transport

trailer. Do not tow your AWD vehicle with the front wheels off the

ground (by using a tow dolly) and the rear wheels on the ground; this

will cause damage to your AWD system. If you are using a vehicle

transport trailer, follow the instruction specified by the equipment

provider. If you are towing with all four wheels on the ground, refer to

the towing instructions found at the end of this section.

If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground:

• Tow only in the forward direction.

• Release the parking brake.

• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

• Do not exceed 65 mph (105 km/h).

• Start the engine and allow it to run for five minutes at the beginning

of each day and every six hours thereafter. With the engine running

and your foot on the brake, shift into D (Drive) and then into R

(Reverse) before shifting back into N (Neutral).
