Automatic transmission vehicles can be towed with the
front wheels elevated or on a flatbed truck (all four
wheels OFF the ground).
CAUTION!
DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with an
automatic transmission. Damage to the drivetrain
will result.
Manual Transmission
• Manual transmission vehicles can be flat towed (all
four wheels on the ground) with the transmission in
NEUTRAL.
• Manual transmission vehicles can also be towed with
the front wheels elevated, or on a flatbed truck (all
wheels OFF the ground).
CAUTION!
DO NOT flat tow disabled vehicle if condition is
related to a clutch, transmission or other driveline
components. Damage to the drivetrain could result.
All Transmissions
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defroster, etc.)
while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.), the key must
be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC position. Make
certain the transmission remains in NEUTRAL.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, see “Shift Lever
Override” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for instruc-
tions on shifting the automatic transmission out of the
PARK position for towing.
