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 key fob is unavailable or the battery is
discharged, see “Manual Park Release” or “Shift Lever
Override” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for instruc-
tions on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK
for towing.

CAUTION!

Do not use sling type equipment when towing.

Damage to the fascia will occur.

When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not

attach to the front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper
towing.

Do not push or tow this vehicle with another

vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia and trans-
mission may result.

The manufacturer does not recommend towing this

vehicle using a tow dolly. Vehicle damage may
occur.

Flatbed towing is recommended. DO NOT tow an AWD
vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground.
