Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent
damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for the purpose, following equip-
ment 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 bumpers
or associated brackets. State and local laws applying to
vehicles under tow must be observed.

If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.)
while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN
position, not the ACC position.

CAUTION!

Do not use sling type equipment when towing.

Damage to the fascia will occur.

CAUTION! (Continued)

When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do

not attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper
towing.

Do not push or tow this vehicle with another

vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia and trans-
mission may result.

If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the

ignition switch must be in the ON position, not
the LOCK or ACC positions.

The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle 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 shift lever must be in NEUTRAL.
