TOWING A TRAILER
WARNING: Your vehicle is
not approved for trailer towing.
Never tow a trailer with your
vehicle.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE If you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact your roadside assistance center
or a professional towing service.
We recommend that your vehicle be towed
with flatbed equipment only. When towing
with a flatbed, race ramps or wood ramps
must be used when loading or unloading
your vehicle. Wheel baskets are required
when flatbed towing.
Your vehicle could come with a front
recovery hook to assist in vehicle recovery
situations.
See Towing Points (page 36).
Perform the following when towing your
vehicle:
• Enable manual park override.
See
Automatic Transmission (page 20).
Note: Do not use the Stay in Neutral Mode
for towing.
Note: Do not tow with a slingbelt or wheel
lift equipment.
Note: If the vehicle is towed incorrectly or
by any other means, vehicle damage may
occur.

Two mini J hooks should be used when the
vehicle is towed. The hooks should be
attached to the oblong holes in rails as
shown to winch the vehicle onto the
flatbed. Use tire slings only to tie the
vehicle down to the flatbed. Other
methods may damage the vehicle.

Transporting or Trailering - Mach
1 Handling Package
(If Equipped)
Due to low ground clearance, your vehicle
is transported from the assembly plant to
the dealer with front suspension spacers
installed. These are removed by the dealer
prior to customer delivery and are provided
with the vehicle. If you plan to transport or
trailer your vehicle and need additional
clearance, the spacers may be reinstalled
for additional underbody clearance. Note:
Suspension spacers must be
removed before driving your vehicle. Failure
to remove the spacers may cause damage
to suspension components and degrade
vehicle performance.
Note: It is only possible for you to install or
remove the suspension spacers while the
vehicle is raised in the air. 33
