Recreational Towing - Two-Wheel Drive Models - Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013 Owner's Manual

NOTE: Vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift™ must be
lowered to the "Park" (lowest) level, and have automatic
leveling disabled, before tying them down (from the
body) on a trailer or flatbed truck. Refer to "Quadra-
Lift™ – If Equipped" in "Starting and Operating" for
more information. If the vehicle cannot be lowered to the
"Park" level (for example, engine will not run), tie-downs
must be fastened to the axles (not to the body). Failure to
follow these instructions may cause fault codes to be set
and/or cause loss of proper tie-down tension.
Recreational Towing – Two-Wheel Drive Models
DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain
will result.
Recreational towing (for two-wheel drive models) is
allowed ONLY if the rear wheels are OFF the ground.
This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle
trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following
the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Shift the transmission
into PARK.
4. Turn the engine OFF and remove the key fob from the
ignition switch.
5. Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly, following
the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
6. Install a suitable clamping device, designed for tow-
ing, to secure the front wheels in the straight position.
