Proper towing or lifting equipment is required
to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only
tow bars and other equipment designed for
this purpose, following equipment manufac-
turer's instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing
device to main structural members of the
vehicle, not to bumpers or associated brack-
ets. State and local laws regarding vehicles
under tow must be observed.

NOTE:
• 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.
• You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this ve-
hicle, to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the cus-
tomer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.

If you must use the accessories (wipers, de-
frosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the RUN mode. If the key fob is
unavailable, or the vehicle's battery is dis-
charged, refer to "Gear Selector Override" in
this section for instructions on shifting the
transmission out of PARK so that the vehicle
can be moved.
