NOTE:
•
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake feature is
disabled before towing this vehicle (if rear wheels
are on the ground), to avoid inadvertent Electric
Park Brake (EPB) engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the customer pro-
grammable features in the Uconnect Settings.
•
Vehicles with a discharged battery or total electrical
failure when the Electric Park Brake (EPB) is
engaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack to raise the
rear wheels off the ground when moving the vehicle
onto a flatbed.
FCA US LLC recommends towing your vehicle with all
four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this vehicle must
be towed with the front wheels OFF the ground (using a
towing dolly, or wheel lift equipment with the front
wheels raised).
NOTE:
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, and
remains released, while being towed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the approved
requirements can cause severe transmission dam-
age. Damage from improper towing is not covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Vehicle Recovery Tow Points
Your vehicle is equipped with Vehicle Recovery Points
that can be used to recover a disabled vehicle, located
on the underbody of the vehicle.
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the towing service tow hooks are prop-
erly seated and secured in the attachment points.
•
This recovery tow feature should be used by a
trained professional only.
•
Use approved receptacle location to free the dis-
abled vehicle from its environment.
CAUTION!
Recovery feature:
•
Is to be used by a professional ONLY.
•
Is used only to provide recovery of the vehicle.
•
Is NOT to be used to recover secondary vehicle.
•
Is NOT to be used for transporting the vehicle over
the road, i.e. “Flat Towing”.
Recovery load should:
•
Be applied at constant speed.
•
Be applied parallel to the center line of the length
of the vehicle.
•
Not be an abrupt acceleration.
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.
NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric Park
Brake whenever the driver's door is opened (if the igni-
tion is ON, transmission is not in PARK, and brake pedal
is released). If you are towing this vehicle with the igni-
tion in the ON/RUN mode, you must manually disable
the Electric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened, by pressing the brake pedal and then releasing
the EPB.
If the key fob is unavailable or the vehicle's battery is
discharged, detailed instructions on shifting the trans-
mission out of PARK in order to move the vehicle
