TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

Without The Ignition Key Fob

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

Towing This Vehicle Behind Another Vehicle

Flatbed towing is recommended. DO NOT tow an AWD
vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground unless the
rear driveshaft is removed and the transmission is in
NEUTRAL.
Vehicles WITHOUT AWD may be towed (with rear
wheels on the ground) with the transmission in NEU-
TRAL under the following conditions:
• The distance to be traveled must not exceed 15 miles
(24 km).
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
CAUTION!
Exceeding these towing limits may cause transmis-
sion failure.
Vehicles equipped with AWD can be towed with the
transmission in NEUTRAL and the rear wheels OFF the
ground (or the rear driveshaft removed) with no limita-
tion on speed or distance.
