Transporting a
Disabled Vehicle
(Electronic Shifter)
Caution
Incorrectly transporting a
disabled vehicle may cause
damage to the vehicle. Use
proper tire straps to secure
the vehicle to the flatbed
tow truck. Do not strap or
hook to any frame,
underbody, or suspension
component not specified
below. Do not move vehicles
with drive axle tires on the
ground. Damage is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with an electric parking
brake and/or an electronic
shifter. In the event of a loss
of 12-volt battery power, the
electric parking brake
cannot be released, and the
vehicle cannot be shifted to
N (Neutral). Tire skates or
dollies must be used under
the non-rolling tires to
prevent damage while
loading/unloading the
vehicle. Dragging the vehicle
will cause damage not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with a tow eye. Improper use
of the tow eye may cause
damage to the vehicle and is

eye is not designed for
off-road recovery. The
vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the electric
parking brake released when
using the tow eye.

located near the spare tire or
emergency jack. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle
from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may

the non-rolling tires to
prevent vehicle damage.
V-Series Blackwing Only

when loading the vehicle onto
a flatbed carrier. Front spring
spacers were provided for
lifting the front suspension if
more clearance is necessary
when towing.

The vehicle is equipped with a
tow eye. Only use the tow eye
to pull the vehicle onto a
flatbed car carrier from a flat
road surface. Do not use the
tow eye to pull the vehicle
from snow, mud, or sand. The
tow eye is located under the
carpet in the trunk.
