NOTE:
•
When towing your vehicle, always follow applicable
state and provincial laws. Contact state and provin-
cial Highway Safety offices for additional details.
•
Vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift must be placed
in Transport mode before tying them down (from the
body) on a trailer or flatbed truck
page 118. If
the vehicle cannot be placed in Transport mode (for
example, engine will not run), tie-downs should be
fastened over the tires using specific straps (not to
the body). Failure to follow these instructions may
cause fault codes to be set and/or cause loss of
proper tie-down tension.
RECREATIONAL TOWING —

This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle
trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:

ing the dolly manufacturer's instructions.

ing, to secure the front wheels in the straight
position.
9. Disconnect the negative battery cable, and secure it
away from the battery post.

Disconnecting your vehicle battery will erase radio
presets and may affect other vehicle settings. It may
also trigger various fault codes, causing Malfunction
