74 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
NOTE:
 You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this vehicle to avoid inad-
vertent Electric Park Brake engagement. The Auto Park
Brake feature is enabled or disabled via the customer
programmable features in the Uconnect Settings.
 Vehicles with a discharged battery, or total electrical
failure when the Electric Park Brake (EPB) is engaged,
will need a wheel dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels
off the ground when moving the vehicle onto a flatbed.
 The Safehold feature will engage the Electric Park Brake
whenever the driver's door is opened (if the battery is
connected, ignition is ON, transmission is not in PARK,
and brake pedal is released). If you are towing this vehicle
with the ignition in the ON/RUN mode, you must manually
disable the Electric Park Brake each time the driver's door
is opened by pressing the brake pedal and then releasing
the EPB.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)
while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN
mode.

adjusting during towing against securement straps and
causing damage. Damage to your vehicle may result from
improper towing.

transfer case damage. Damage from improper
towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
