TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
With Ignition Key
Euro Twin Clutch Transmission
•Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
•Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
Manual Transmission
•Vehicle can be flat towed (all four wheels on the ground) with the transmission in
NEUTRAL.
•Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
•Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
NOTE:
If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.),
the key must be in the ON/RUN position.Make certain the transmission remains in
NEUTRAL.
All Transmissions
•If it is necessary to use the accessories while being towed (wipers, defrosters, etc.),
the key must be in the ON/RUN position.Make certain the transmission remains in
NEUTRAL.
Without The Ignition Key
•Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the OFF/
LOCK position.A dolly should be used under the front wheels if the rear wheels are
raised.Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle.
•Battery power is required to release the brake/transmission interlock system (Euro
Twin Clutch Transmission only).There is a removable plug in the right side of the shift
lever housing that allows you to override the system.Refer to Shift Lever Override in
this guide.
CAUTION!
•Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmission damage.
Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
•DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with a Euro Twin Clutch Transmission.
Damage to the drivetrain will result.
•If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the
ON/RUN position.
•Do not attempt to 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.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rock-
ing motion.Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front
wheels.Then shift back and forth between DRIVE/2nd gear and REVERSE.Using mini-
mal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the
wheels, is most effective.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and
failure.Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL for at least one
minute after every five rocking-motion cycles.This will minimize overheating and
reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle.
•When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between DRIVE/2nd and REVERSE,
do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may
result.
•Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission over-
heating and failure.It can also damage the tires.Do not spin the wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires.A tire could explode and injure
someone.Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for
longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not
let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
