534 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

All Wheel Drive (AWD) Models

The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with
all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If the transmission and drivetrain are operable, vehicles
equipped with AWD can also be towed with the ignition
in the ON/RUN position, the transmission in NEUTRAL
(not in PARK!), and the rear wheels OFF the ground with
no limitation on speed or distance. Since the ignition
MUST be in the ON/RUN position to tow in this manner,
AWD vehicles must be towed with ALL FOUR wheels
OFF the ground (e.g. on a flatbed truck) if the Key Fob is
unavailable.
CAUTION!
• Towing this vehicle using any other method could
result in extensive damage to the transfer case
and/or transmission.
• Damage from improper towing is not covered un-
der the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) Models

The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with
all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transmis-
sion is operable, this vehicle may be towed (with rear
wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:
• The transmission must be in NEUTRAL.
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• The towing distance must not exceed 15 miles (24 km)
for 5-speed transmission, or 30 miles (48 km) for
8-speed transmission.
