434 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
NOTE:
• You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake feature is
disabled before towing this vehicle, to avoid inadvertent
Electric Park Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the customer program-
mable features in the Uconnect Settings.
• Vehicles with a discharged battery or total electrical failure
when the Electric Park Brake (EPB) is engaged, will need a
wheel dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off the ground
when moving the vehicle onto a flatbed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)
while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN
mode, not the ACC mode.
NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric Park Brake
whenever the driver's door is opened (if the 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 manually 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 key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle’s battery is
discharged, refer to “Gear Selector Override” in this section
for instructions on shifting the transmission out of PARK so
that the vehicle can be moved.
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with all
four wheels OFF of the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this vehicle must be
towed with the front wheels OFF of the ground (using a
towing dolly, or wheel lift equipment with the front wheels
raised).
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, and remains
released, while being towed. The Electric Park Brake does
not need to be released, if all four wheels are OFF the
ground.
CAUTION!
• Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Vehicle
damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flat bed truck, do not
attach to front or rear suspension components. Damage
to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
• Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, and
remains released, while being towed.
