Transporting the vehicle

The only approved method of transporting
your vehicle is using a flatbed trailer or
transporter. Towing the vehicle will cause
serious damage to the power train. This
damage will not be covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Caution: Serious damage to the vehicle
and transmission can occur if the
vehicle is towed with the wheels on the
ground or on a suspended lift.
Caution: The transmission lock will only
retract when the vehicle is in Tow Mode
or when the electrical systems are functional,
the key is in the ON position and the Neutral
gear is engaged.
Before pulling the vehicle onto a flatbed
trailer or transporter, follow these steps:
Roadside emergencies
• activate Tow Mode to disengage the
transmission lock, or turn the key to the
ON position and select the Neutral gear
position
• attach the vehicle recovery eye
Activating Tow Mode
Tow Mode disengages the transmission lock
so the vehicle can roll freely.
Note: In the unlikely situation in which
electrical systems are not functioning and
therefore Tow Mode can not be activated,
wheeled dollies or skid pads must be used.
1. Turn OFF the vehicle and apply the hand
brake. The Touch Screen displays the
main Parked screen.
