Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational (RV) towing. An example
of recreational towing would be towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
You can tow your vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground using the Neutral
Tow mode in the information display.
Alternatively, if you have a front-wheel
drive vehicle, you can tow with the front
wheels off the ground by using a tow dolly.
If you have an all-wheel drive vehicle, you
can tow with all four wheels off the ground
using a vehicle transport trailer. If you are
using a tow dolly or a vehicle transport
trailer, follow the instruction specified by
the equipment provider.
If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground:
• Tow only in the forward direction.
• Release the parking brake.
• Place your vehicle in Neutral Tow
mode with the following steps:
• Switch your vehicle on in accessory
mode.
• Press the menu button on the
controls on the steering wheel.
• Select Settings.
• Select Neutral Tow.
• Follow the instructions on the
information display.
• Fully press the brake pedal.
• Shift into neutral (N).
• Switch the ignition off.
• Do not exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).
Note: Switching on Neutral Tow mode
requires battery power.
Note: If the parking brake is applied, a
message appears in the information display.
Note: If your vehicle has an ignition key, you
cannot remove the key from the ignition
when the transmission is in neutral (N) and
your vehicle is off.
Note: Start the engine and allow it to run
for a few minutes at the beginning of each
day, and every six hours or fewer. With the
engine running and your foot on the brake,
shift into drive (D) and then into reverse (R)
before shifting back into neutral (N). Before
continuing to tow, re-enable Neutral Tow
mode.
