NOTE:
When recreationally towing your vehicle, always follow applicable state and provincial laws.
Contact state and provincial Highway Safety offices for additional details.
NOTE:
• Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission or a DDCT transmission (1.4L turbo
engine) may be recreationally towed (flat towed) at any legal highway speed, for any
distance, if the transmission is in
NEUTRAL. For vehicles with DDCT transmission (1.4L
turbo automatic), refer to "Shift Lever Override" in "What to Do in Emergencies" for
instructions on shifting the transmission into NEUTRAL when the ignition is OFF. If the
ignition is left in the ACC position, it may be helpful to disconnect the negative battery
cable (and secure it away from the battery post), to avoid draining the battery.
• If your vehicle is disabled and in need of commercial towing service please refer to
“Towing A Disabled Vehicle” in “What To Do In Emergencies.”
CAUTION!
• DO NOT flat tow any 2.0L or 2.4L engine vehicle equipped with an automatic
transmission. Damage to the drivetrain will result. If these vehicles require towing,
make sure all the wheels are OFF the ground.
• Do not dolly tow this vehicle. Use of a towing dolly can cause significant damage to
your vehicle. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
