NON SRT — TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
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 manufacturer’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 brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode, not the ACC
mode.
If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle's
battery is discharged, refer to "Manual Park
Release" in this section for instructions on
shifting the transmission out of PARK for
towing.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY249
(Continued)
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) MODELS
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
If the transmission and driveline are operable,
AWD models can also be towed with the ignition
in the ON/RUN mode, the transmission in
NEUTRAL (not in PARK!), and the rear wheels
OFF the ground with no limitation on speed or
distance. Since the ignition MUST be in the ON/
RUN mode to tow in this manner, AWD vehicles
must be towed with ALL FOUR wheels OFF the
ground (e.g. on a flatbed truck) if the key fob is
unavailable.
REAR-WHEEL DRIVE (RWD) MODELS
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the
transmission is operable, this vehicle may be
flat towed (with all four wheels on the ground)
under the following conditions:

The automatic transmission must be in
NEUTRAL. Refer to "Manual Park Release" in this
section for instructions on shifting the transmis -
sion to NEUTRAL when the engine is off.

The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
The towing distance must not exceed
30 miles (48 km).
If the transmission is not operable, or the
vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km),
then the only acceptable method of towing is
with a flatbed truck.

“Safety” for further information on the Event
Data Recorder (EDR).
