Automatic Transmission
•Vehicle can be towed with the front wheels elevated.
•Vehicle can be towed on a flatbed truck (all wheels off the ground).
If the ignition key is unavailable, or the battery is discharged, refer to “Shift Lever Over-
ride” in this section for instructions on shifting the transmission out of PARK in order to
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•DO NOT
flat tow any vehicle equipped with a conventional automatic transmission.Damage
to the drivetrain will result.If these vehicles require towing, make sure all drive
wheels are OFF the ground.
•Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe trans-
mission damage.Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking
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 minimal
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.
