Towing the Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Do not lash or hook to
suspension components. Use the
proper straps around the tires to
secure the vehicle.
Use only a flatbed tow truck for
towing a disabled vehicle. Never
use a sling type lift or damage will
occur. Use ramps to help reduce
approach angles if necessary.
A towed vehicle should have its
drive wheels off the ground. Consult
a professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
If the vehicle is equipped with a tow
eye, only use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle onto a flatbed car carrier
from a flat road surface. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle from
snow, mud, or sand.
Caution
Improper use of the tow eye can
cause vehicle damage. Use
caution and low speeds to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.
To load a vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier:
1. The vehicle must be on a flat
surface.
2. The front tires must be properly
inflated. If necessary, move a
rear tire to the front to replace
a flat or damaged tire.
If equipped, use the spare tire
to replace a flat or
damaged tire.
3. Remove the tow eye bolt from
the rear storage area.
4. Remove the front bumper tow
eye cover.
5. Screw the tow eye bolt into the
bumper.
The tow cable can hook into
the tow eye bolt and pull the
vehicle onto the flatbed tow
truck.
