358 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
programmable 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 ignition key is unavailable, or the vehicle's
battery is discharged, for instructions on
shifting the transmission out of PARK (P) for
towing Ú page 355.
FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE (FWD) M ODELS
The FCA US LLC 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 suspen-
sion components. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while
being towed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above
requirements can cause severe transmission
damage. Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
