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.

If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle's battery is discharged, see “Shift Lever Override”
in this section for instructions on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK for
towing.

CAUTION!

• Do not use sling type equipment when towing. 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.

• The manufacturer does not recommend towing this vehicle using a tow dolly. Vehicle

damage may occur.

Automatic Transmission
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 transmission must be in NEUTRAL.
• The towing distance must not exceed 15 miles (24 km).
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or the vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph

(48 km/h) or farther than 15 miles (24 km), then the only acceptable method of towing is

with a flatbed truck.

CAUTION!

Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe transmis-

sion damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle's battery is discharged, see “Shift Lever Override”
in this section for instructions on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK for
towing.
