NOTE:

• When recreationally towing your vehicle, always fol-

low applicable state and provincial laws. Contact state

and provincial Highway Safety offices for additional

details.

• Vehicles equipped with air suspension must be placed

in Transport mode before tying them down (from the

body) on a trailer or flatbed truck. Refer to “Air

Suspension – If Equipped” for more information. If the

vehicle cannot be placed in Transport mode (for ex-

ample, engine will not run), tie-downs must be fas-

tened to the axles (not to the body). Failure to follow

these instructions may cause fault codes to be set

and/or cause loss of proper tie-down tension.

Recreational Towing — Two-Wheel Drive Models

DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain
will result.
Recreational towing (for two-wheel drive models) is

allowed ONLY if the rear wheels are OFF the ground.

This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle

trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following

the dolly manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE:

If vehicle is equipped with air suspension, ensure

the vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height.
2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Place automatic trans-

mission in PARK, manual transmission in gear (not in

NEUTRAL).
