Notice: If you tow your vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground, the drivetrain
components could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground.

with all four wheels on the ground.
Two-wheel-drive transmissions have no provisions
for internal lubrication while being towed.

All-Wheel-Drive Vehicles

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with
all four wheels on the ground. To properly

Notice: Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground, or even
with only two of its wheels on the ground, will

will be on the ground.
