Without The Ignition Key - Jeep 2012 Compass Owner's Manual

402 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
If the vehicle's battery is discharged, see "Shift Lever
Override" in "What To Do In Emergencies" for instruc-
tions on shifting the automatic transmission out of the
PARK position for towing.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions could result in dam-
age to your vehicle:
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when
towing. When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension
components.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the
ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN or ACC
position, not in the LOCK/OFF position.

Without The Ignition Key

Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed
with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF position. The only
approved method of towing without the ignition key is
with a flatbed truck. Proper towing equipment is neces-
sary to prevent damage to the vehicle.
