Towing
Front-wheel drive vehicles must have the
front wheels placed on a two-wheel tow
dolly when towing your vehicle from the
rear using wheel lift equipment. This
prevents damage to the transmission.
Towing a four-wheel drive vehicle
requires that all wheels be off the
ground, such as using a wheel lift and
dollies or flatbed equipment. This
prevents damage to the transmission,
four-wheel drive system and vehicle.
TOWING THE VEHICLE ON
FOUR WHEELS -
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNINGS
You must switch the ignition on
when your vehicle is being towed.
Failure to follow this warning could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death.
You must make sure the
transmission selector lever is placed
in position N. Failure to follow this
warning could damage the transmission
and may lead to a crash or injury.
The brake and steering assistance
will not operate unless the engine is
running. Press the brake pedal
harder and allow for increased stopping
distances and heavier steering. Failure to
take care may lead to a crash or personal
injury.
If your vehicle has a steering wheel
lock, make sure the ignition is in
theaccessory or on position before
you tow.
Too much tension on a tow rope
could cause damage to your
vehicle or the vehicle that is
towing.
Do not tow your vehicle
if the ambient temperature is
below 0°C.
Do not tow your vehicle backward.
Emergency Towing
If your vehicle is disabled without access
to wheel dollies, a car-hauling trailer, or
a flatbed transport vehicle can be used.
You may do this under the following
conditions:
•
•
Your vehicle is facing forward so that
it is towed in a forward direction. The
transmission selector lever is placed
in position N.

shift lever cannot be moved to
position N, Contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible for
assistance
• Maximum speed is 50 km/h.
• Maximum distance is 80 km.
Note:
If you need to exceed a speed of
50 km/h and a distance of 80 km while
towing, you must lift the drive wheels
clear
of the ground.
Note:
We recommend you do not tow
with
the drive wheels on the ground.
However, if
it is required to move the
vehicle from a
dangerous location, do not
tow your vehicle
faster than 50 km/h or
farther than 80 km.

In the event of a mechanical failure
of the transmission, do not use
individual axle carriers. All wheels
must be lifted clear of the ground on
a level platform.
Drive off slowly and smoothly without
jerking the vehicle that is being towed.
