W H A T T O D O I N E M E R G E N C I E S
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 brackets.
State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode, not the ACC mode.
• Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension
components. Damage to your vehicle may occur from improper towing.
• The manufacturer does not recommend towing this vehicle using a tow dolly. Vehicle
damage may occur.
Automatic Transmission
The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transmission is operable, the vehicle may be
flat towed (with all four wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:
• The transmission must be in NEUTRAL. Refer to "Manual Park Release" in this section
for instructions on shifting the transmission to NEUTRAL when the engine is off.
• The towing distance must not exceed 30 miles (48 km).
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or the vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km), then the only acceptable method of towing is
with a flatbed truck.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe transmis-
sion damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle's battery is discharged, refer to "Manual Park
Release" in this section for instructions on shifting the automatic transmission out of
PARK for towing.
