Recreational Towing
Models With Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)
Recreational towing is allowed ONLY if the front wheels
are OFF the ground. This may be accomplished using a
tow dolly (front wheels off the ground) or vehicle trailer
(all four wheels off the ground). If using a tow dolly,
follow this procedure:
Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following
the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.
Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.
Apply the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). Place the
transmission in PARK. Turn the engine OFF.
Properly secure the front wheels to the dolly, following
the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.
Turn the ignition to the MAR/RUN position, but do
not start the engine.
Press and hold the brake pedal.
Release the Electric Park Brake (EPB).
Turn the ignition OFF, remove the key, and release the
brake pedal.
CAUTION!
DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the
drivetrain will result. If this vehicle requires tow-
ing, make sure the drive wheels are OFF the
ground.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, and
remains released, while being towed.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above re-
quirements can cause severe transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not covered un-
der the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
