car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport
vehicle) under the following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is facing forward so you
tow it in a forward direction.
• You place the transmission in neutral
(N). If you cannot place the
transmission in neutral (N), you may

• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).

Changing the
12V Battery (page 217).
Note: The anti-theft system does not work
until you reconnect the battery cable.
Note: The maximum towing speed is
70 mph (112 km/h)
.
Note: There is no limit on towing distance.
After towing, start the engine within 15
minutes of reconnecting the battery cable.
See Changing the 12V Battery (page
217).
