Towing The Vehicle
NOTE:
• The information in this section is for Auto-mated Manual Transmission (Diesel En-
gine) models ONLY. DO NOT flat tow any
model with a gasoline engine. Gasoline
engine models MUST be towed with front
wheels OFF the ground. See "Recreational
Towing" for additional information.
• For vehicles equipped with Electric Park Brake, you must ensure that the Auto Park
Brake feature is disabled before being
towed, to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature can be temporarily disabled by
holding the park brake switch in the off
position while turning the ignition key from
ON/RUN to “OFF”.
• Vehicles with a discharged battery or total electrical failure when the Electric Park
Brake (EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel
dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off the
ground when moving the vehicle onto a
flatbed. • The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFFthe ground
using a flatbed.
• Automated Manual transmission vehicles can also be flat towed (all four wheels on
the ground) with the transmission in NEU-
TRAL. Ensure the transmission is in NEU-
TRAL (N) (by checking that the vehicle
moves when pushed) and tow in the same
way as a normal vehicle with a manual
transmission.
If it is not possible to shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL (N), do not flat tow the vehicle and
contact your authorized dealer.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, de-
frosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode. NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Electric Park
Brake the SafeHold feature will engage the
Electric Park Brake whenever the driver's
door is opened (if the ignition is ON and the
brake pedal is released). If you are towing
this vehicle with the ignition in the ON/RUN
position, you must manually disable the Elec-
tric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened, by pressing the brake pedal and then
releasing the EPB.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT flat tow any disabled vehicle if
condition is related to the clutch,
transmission or driveline. Additional
damage to the drivetrain could result.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
engine, transmission, or drivetrain
damage. Damage from improper tow-
ing is not covered under the New Ve-
hicle Limited Warranty.
• Ensure that the electric park brake (if
equipped) is released, and remains re-
leased, while being towed.STARTING AND OPERATING

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 manufac-
turer’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 bumpers or associated brack-
ets. State and local laws regarding vehicles
under tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, de-
frosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode.NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with diesel engine and
electric park brake, see important informa-
tion under “Automated Manual Transmis-
sion.”
If the key fob is unavailable or the vehicle's
battery is discharged, refer to “Gear Selector
Override” in this section for instructions on
shifting the automatic transmission out of
PARK for towing.CAUTION!
• Do not use sling type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flat bed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to
your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
