Towing A Disabled Vehicle - Jeep grand cherokee 2017 User Manual

CAUTION!
• When "rocking" a stuck vehicle by shift-
ing between DRIVE and REVERSE, do not
spin the wheels faster than 15 mph
(24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may re-
sult.
• Revving the engine or spinning the
wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also dam-
age the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear

TOWING A DISABLED

ing" in "Starting And Operating".

NOTE:
Vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift must be
placed in Transport mode, before tying them
down (from the body) on a trailer or flatbed
truck. Refer to "Quadra-Lift" in "Starting
And Operating" for more information. If the
vehicle cannot be placed in Transport mode
(for example, engine will not run), tie-downs
must be fastened to the axles (not to the
body). Failure to follow these instructions
may cause fault codes to be set and/or cause
loss of proper tie-down tension.
