Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
All models
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.
2WD models
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under
the front tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the
ground. This is an acceptable way to tow your vehicle.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage.
The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle
can damage the transmission.
2WD models - Make sure the parking brake is released. If you cannot release
the parking brake, your vehicle must be transported by the flat bed equipment.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Fill Assist

Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes significantly low, the Low Tire Pressure/
TPMS indicator comes on and a message appears on the multi-information
display. The specific tire with low pressure is displayed.
If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes
significantly low, or if there is a problem
with the TPMS with Tire Fill Assist or the
*1
compact spare tire is installed, the
indicator blinks for about one minute, and
then stays on.
What to Do

pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver's doorjamb.

level.
Tire Fill Assist
