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, refer to “Manual Park Release” in this section

for instructions on shifting the 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 flat bed truck, do

not attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper
towing.

Rear Wheel Drive Models

The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle with

all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transmis-

sion is operable, the vehicle may be towed (with rear

wheels on the ground) with the transmission in NEU-

TRAL

. Speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) and the

distance must not exceed 30 miles (48 km).

CAUTION!

Towing faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther than
30 miles (48 km) with rear wheels on the ground can
cause severe transmission damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
