Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)
Models
It is recommended to tow the vehicle
with all four wheels OFF the ground on
the flatbed of a roadside assistance
vehicle.
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.
If an assistance vehicle with a flatbed is
not available, the vehicle must be
towed with the rear wheels lifted from
the ground using a trailer or special
equipment allowing lifting of the rear
wheels.
TOW EYES
If the vehicle has been in an accident or
has broken down, a tow eye is provided
in the tools container located inside the
luggage compartment for vehicle
towing. Towing is meant only for short
distances on a paved road surface.
Proceed as follows to use the tow eye:
1. Unhook the cap on the front or rear
bumper (if equipped), pushing on the
upper part.
2. Remove the tow eye from its
housing in the trunk and carefully clean
the threaded housing on the vehicle
before using it.
3. Tighten the vehicle's tow eye in
place (about 11 turns).
Note: The largest work angle of a tow
cable to fix on the tow hook must not
exceed 15°.
Warning!
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with
tow eyes.
Do not use a chain with a tow eye.
Chains may break, causing serious injury or
death.
Do not use a tow strap with a tow eye.
Tow straps may break or become
disengaged, causing serious injury or
death.
