214 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
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 (N) (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 (N). Refer to “Manual Park
Release” in this section for instructions on
shifting the transmission to NEUTRAL when
the engine is off.
The ignition must be in the ACC or ON/RUN
position.
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.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is
towed with the ignition in the LOCK/OFF mode.
The only approved method of towing without the
key fob is with a flatbed truck. Proper towing
equipment is necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
The manufacturer does not recommend
towing this vehicle using a tow dolly.
Vehicle damage may occur.
If the vehicle being towed requires steering,
the ignition must be in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode, not in the LOCK/OFF mode.
CAUTION! (Continued)
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle using any other method
can cause severe transmission and/or
transfer case damage.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above
requirements can cause severe transmission
