Standard Procedure - Towing
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.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the below requirements can cause severe transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed. A towed vehicle usually should have its drive wheels (rear wheels) off the ground. If excessive damage or other conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies. When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.
If towing service is not available in an emergency, the vehicle may be towed with all four wheels on the ground using the towing hook at the front of the vehicle. Only tow the vehicle on paved surfaces for short distances at low speeds.
Follow these instructions when towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground:
- Shift to neutral (manual transmission), or the N position (automatic transmission).
- Place the ignition to ACC.
- Release the parking brake.
Remember that power assist for the brakes and steering will not be available when the engine is not running.
