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 manufacturer'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.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this vehicle,
to avoid inadvertent Electric Park Brake
engagement. The Auto Park Brake feature is
enabled or disabled via the customer
programmable features in the Uconnect
Settings.
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.
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.
NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric
Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the ignition is ON, transmission is not
in PARK, and brake pedal is released). If you are
towing this vehicle with the ignition in the ON/
RUN mode, you must manually disable the Elec-
tric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened, by pressing the brake pedal and then
releasing the EPB.
If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle's
battery is discharged, refer to "Gear Selector
Override" in this section for instructions on
shifting the transmission out of PARK so that
the vehicle can be moved.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
CAUTION! (Continued)
When securing the vehicle to a flat bed
truck, do not attach to front or rear suspen-
sion components. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while
being towed.

The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF of the ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this
vehicle must be towed with the front wheels
OFF of the ground (using a towing dolly, or wheel
lift equipment with the front wheels raised).
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released,
and remains released, while being towed. The
Electric Park Brake does not need to be
released, if all four wheels are OFF the ground.
