It is advisable to contact a Jeep
Dealership to have the refitting procedure
carried out. If you would like to proceed
autonomously, special attention must
be paid to the correct coupling of the
retaining clips. Otherwise, noises might

TOWING A DISABLED
VEHICLE
63) 64) 65)
This chapter describes the procedures for
towing a broken-down car.
WARNING Comply with the regulations
regarding vehicle towing in force in each
country.
WARNING Do not tow using lifting
harnesses. When securing the vehicle to a
fl atbed truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.
TOWING METHOD
It is recommended to tow the car with all
the four wheels LIFTED from the ground.
It is therefore possible to tow the car on
the
fl atbed of a rescue vehicle.
If this is not possible, towing is allowed
with the two front wheels raised off the
ground but only for short distances and at
low speed.
Before towing, make sure that the
automatic transmission is in neutral
(N), checking that the car moves when
pushed.
WARNING If the transmission cannot
be put in neutral (N), do not tow the car
and contact a Jeep Dealership. Should
the automatic transmission lever be in
"Park" (P), release it before towing (see
paragraph "Positions of the lever" in the
Owner Handbook).
WARNING If a vehicle is towed without
complying with the above requirements,
the transmission and/or the transfer unit
might be seriously damaged. Damage
due to incorrect towing is not covered by
warranty.
