Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent

damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other

equipment designed for this 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 regarding

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.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to “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.

Vehicle damage may occur.

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.

Without The Ignition Key

Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed

with the ignition in the LOCK position. The only ap-

proved method of towing without the ignition key is

with a flatbed truck. Proper towing equipment is neces-

sary to prevent damage to the vehicle.
