272 STARTING AND OPERATING
These vehicles may be towed on a flatbed or
vehicle trailer provided all four wheels are OFF
the ground.
NOTE:
When towing your vehicle, always follow
applicable state and provincial laws. Contact
state and provincial Highway Safety offices
for additional details.
Vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift must be
placed in Transport Mode before tying them
down (from the body) on a trailer or flatbed
truck. Refer to “Quadra-Lift” in “Starting and
Operating” for more information. If the
vehicle cannot be placed in Transport mode
(for example, engine will not run), tie-downs
should be fastened over the tires using
specific straps (not to the body). Failure to
follow these instructions may cause fault
codes to be set and/or cause loss of proper
tie-down tension.
