Towing using a towline
This section refers to one vehicle being towed
behind another using a towline.
Twin Engine vehicles may not be towed behind
another vehicle due to the risk of damage to the
electric motor. The vehicle must be lifted onto a
tow truck and transported with all four wheels on
the bed or lifting platform of the truck (no wheels
may touch the road).
Towing another vehicle
Towing another vehicle requires a lot of power -
use the AWD drive mode. This helps charge the
hybrid battery and improve the vehicle's driving
and roadholding characteristics.
Before towing another vehicle, check applicable
speed limit regulations.
Jump starting
Do not tow the vehicle to start the engine. Use an
auxiliary battery if the start battery's charge level
is so low that the engine cannot be started.
CAUTION
Attempts to tow-start the vehicle could cause
damage to the electrical drive motor and
three-way catalytic converter.
