TOWING A DISABLED

NOTE: This section describes
procedures for towing a disabled
vehicle using a commercial towing
service.
Towing ConditionWheels OFF the Ground ALL MODELS

Transmission inNEUTRAL
40 km/hmaxspeed
maxdistance
Wheel lift or Dolly Tow Rear
Front OK
Flatbed ALLBEST METHOD
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under
tow must be observed. If you must use the accessories (wip-
ers, defrosters, etc.) while being
towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC posi-
tion.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged,
refer to "Shift Lever Override" in this
section for instructions on shifting the
transmission out of PARK for towing.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling type equipment
when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.

CAUTION!(Continued)
Do not push or tow this vehiclewith another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.
If the vehicle being towed re- quires steering, the ignition
switch must be in the ON/RUN or
ACC position, not in the LOCK/
OFF position.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the
vehicle is towed with the ignition in
the LOCK/OFF position. The only
approved method of towing without
the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
With Ignition Key
The manufacturer recommends tow-
ing your vehicle with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed. If
flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is operable, the vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the
following conditions:
The transmission must be in NEU-
TRAL.
The towing distance must not ex- ceed 24 km.
The towing speed must not exceed 40 km/h.
If the transmission is not operable,
or the vehicle must be towed faster
than 40 km/h or farther than
24 km, it must be towed with the
front wheels OFF the ground (us-
ing a flatbed truck, towing dolly, or
wheel lift equipment with the front
wheels raised).
CAUTION!
Towing faster than 40 km/h or far-
ther than 24 km with front wheels
on the ground can cause severe
transmission damage. Such dam-
age is not covered by the New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of
the above requirements can cause

age from improper towing is not
