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 vehicle’s
battery is discharged, see “Shift Lever Override” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for instructions on shifting
the automatic transmission out of PARK for towing.

CAUTION!

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.

The manufacturer does not recommend towing this

vehicle using a tow dolly. Vehicle damage may
occur.

Automatic Transmission

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 flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the following condi-
tions:

• The transmission must be in NEUTRAL.
• The towing distance must not exceed 15 miles (24 km).
• The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or the vehicle must
be towed faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther than
15 miles (24 km), then the only acceptable method of
towing is with a flatbed truck.
