If you are using a tow dolly, follow the
instructions specified by the equipment
provider. If you tow your vehicle with all
wheels on the ground, follow these
instructions:
1. Tow only with your vehicle in the
forward direction. Release the parking
brake.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.

Emergency Towing WARNING
If your vehicle has a steering wheel
lock make sure the ignition is in the
accessory or on position when being
towed. You can flat-tow (all wheels on the
ground, regardless of the powertrain and
transmission configuration) your disabled
vehicle (without access to wheel dollies,
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
need to override it. See Transmission
(page
138).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km). Recreational Towing WARNING
Your vehicle is not approved for
recreational towing with all four
wheels on the ground.
Note:
Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering the vehicle.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational (RV) towing. An example
of recreational towing would be towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
Your vehicle can be towed with the front
wheels off the ground by using a tow dolly.
If you are using a tow dolly follow the
instructions specified by the equipment
provider.
