If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)
while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN
mode.
Note that the Safehold feature will engage the Electric Park
Brake whenever the driver’s door is opened (if the battery
is connected, 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 manu-
ally disable the Electric Park Brake each time the driver’s
door is opened by pressing the brake pedal and then
releasing the EPB.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to “Gear Selector
Override” in this section for instructions on shifting the
automatic transmission out of PARK so that the vehicle can
be moved.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling-type equipment when towing. Ve-
hicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not
attach to front or rear suspension components. Dam-
age to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, and
remains released, while being towed.
Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on tow bar on
your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be damaged.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with
the ignition in the LOCK/OFF mode. The only approved
method of towing without the key fob is with a flatbed
truck. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent
damage to the vehicle.
