Refer to your Owner's Manual for further infor -
mation.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to
prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow
bars and other equipment designed for this
purpose, following equipment manufacturer’ s
instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory.
Attach a tow bar or other towing device to main
structural members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and local
laws regarding vehicles under tow must be ob-
served.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrost-
ers, etc.) while being towed, the ignition must
be in the ON/RUN mode, not the ACC mode.
If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle's
battery is discharged, refer to "Manual Park
Release" in this section for instructions on shift-
ing the transmission out of PARK for towing.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your ve-
hicle with all four wheels OFF the ground using
a flatbed.
If the transmission and driveline are operable,
A WD models can also be towed with the ignition
in the ON/RUN mode, the transmission in NEU-
TRAL (not in P ARK!), and the rear wheels OFF
the ground with no limitation on speed or dis-
tance. Since the ignition MUST be in the ON/
RUN mode to tow in this manner , AWD vehicles
must be towed with ALL FOUR wheels OFF the
ground (e.g. on a flatbed truck) if the key fob is
unavailable.
CAUTION!
• Towing this vehicle using any other method
can cause severe transmission and/or
transfer case damage.
• Damage from improper towing is not cov-
ered under the New V ehicle Limited W ar -
ranty.
Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your ve-
hicle with all four wheels OFF the ground using
a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the
transmission is operable, the vehicle may be flat
towed (with all four wheels on the ground) under
the following conditions:
• The transmission must be in NEUTRAL. Refer
to "Manual Park Release" in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans-
mission to NEUTRAL when the engine is off.
• The towing distance must not exceed
30 miles (48 km).
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or the ve-
hicle must be towed faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km),
then the only acceptable method of towing is
with a flatbed truck.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above
requirements can cause severe engine
and/or transmission damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the
New V ehicle Limited W arranty.
