Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to
prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars
and other equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar
or other towing device to main structural members
of the vehicle, not to bumpers or associated brack-
ets. State and local laws regarding vehicles under
tow must be observed.
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 engagement. The Auto Park
Brake feature is enabled or disabled via the cus-
tomer programmable features in the Uconnect
Settings.
• Vehicles with a discharged battery or total electri-
cal failure when the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is
engaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack to raise the
rear wheels off the ground when moving the ve-
hicle onto a flatbed.
The manufacturer recommends towing your ve-
hicle with all four wheels
OFF
the ground using a
flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, this vehicle
must 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 above
requirements can cause severe transmission
damage. Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
