TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
You can flat-tow (all wheels on the
ground, regardless of the
powertrain/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 110).
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km).
Recreational Towing
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle.
See
Climate Control (page 83).
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing, such as towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome or truck.
We designed these guidelines to prevent
damage to your vehicle after it is
hooked-up to the recreational vehicle or
tow dolly.
You can tow your front-wheel drive vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground or 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. If you are towing with
all four wheels on the ground, see the
following instructions. You can tow your all-wheel drive vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground or with
all four wheels off the ground using a
vehicle transport trailer. Do not tow your
all-wheel drive vehicle with the front
wheels off the ground (by using a tow
dolly) and the rear wheels on the ground.
This causes damage to your all-wheel drive
system. If you are using a vehicle transport
trailer, follow the instructions specified by
the equipment provider. If you are towing
with all four wheels on the ground, see the
following instructions.
If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground:
•
Tow only in the forward direction.
• Release the parking brake.
• Shift into neutral (N).
• Do not exceed
65 mph (105 km/h).
• Start the engine and allow it to run for
five minutes at the beginning of each
day and every six hours thereafter. With
the engine running and your foot on the
brake, shift into drive (D) and then into
reverse (R) before shifting back into
neutral (N).
