CAUTION!
•
Towing faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther
than 30 miles (48 km) with rear wheels on the
ground can cause severe transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
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), tow with the rear wheels OFF the
ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a
flatbed, or with the front wheels raised and the rear
wheels on a towing dolly, or (when using a suitable
steering wheel stabilizer to hold the front wheels in the
straight position) with the rear wheels raised and the
front wheels ON the ground.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MODELS
FCA US LLC recommends towing with all wheels OFF
the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle
on a flatbed or with one end of the vehicle raised and
the opposite end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transfer
case is operable, vehicles with a two-speed transfer
case may be towed (in the forward direction, with ALL
wheels on the ground), IF the transfer case is in NEU-
TRAL (N) and the transmission is in PARK
page 130.
Vehicles equipped with a single-speed transfer case
have no NEUTRAL (N) position, and therefore must be
towed will all four wheels OFF the ground.
CAUTION!
•
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used (if the
remaining wheels are on the ground). Internal
damage to the transmission or transfer case will
occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
•
Towing this vehicle in violation of the previously
mentioned requirements can cause severe trans-
mission and/or transfer case damage. Damage
from improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Towing this vehicle using any other method can
cause severe transmission and/or transfer case
