IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 341
NOTE:

You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
Ú
page 134 feature is disabled before towing
this vehicle to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the customer
programmable features in the Uconnect
Settings.

Vehicles with a discharged battery, or total
electrical failure when the Electric Park Brake
(EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack
to raise the rear wheels off the ground when
moving the vehicle onto a flatbed.

The Safehold feature will engage the Electric
Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the battery is connected, ignition is
ON, transmission is not in PARK, and brake
pedal is released). If you are towing this vehicle
with the ignition in the ON/RUN mode, you must
manually disable the Electric Park Brake each
time the driver's door is opened by pressing the
brake pedal and then releasing the EPB.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode.
If the vehicle's battery is discharged, instructions
on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK
(P) in order to move the vehicle

FCA recommends towing your vehicle with all four
wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the
transmission is operable, the vehicle may be towed
(with rear wheels off the ground) under the
following conditions:

The transmission must be in NEUTRAL (N). For
instructions on shifting the transmission to
NEUTRAL (N) when the engine is off
Ú
page 337.

The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).

The towing distance must not exceed 30 miles
(48 km).
If the transmission is not operable, or the vehicle
must be towed faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or
farther than 30 miles (48 km), tow with the rear
wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to
tow the vehicle on a flatbed, or with the front
wheels raised and the rear wheels on a towing
dolly, or (when using a suitable steering wheel
stabilizer to hold the front wheels in the straight
position) with the rear wheels raised and the front
wheels ON the ground.
CAUTION!

When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck,
do not attach to front or rear suspension
components. If vehicle is equipped with
Quadra-lift air suspension, secure vehicle only
with tire/wheel straps (no suspension compo-
nents or body) to prevent air suspension from
adjusting during towing against securement
straps and causing damage. Damage to your
vehicle may result from improper towing.

Do not use sling type equipment when towing.
Vehicle damage may occur.
CAUTION!

Towing faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or
farther than 30 miles (48 km) with rear
wheels on the ground can cause severe trans-
mission damage. Damage from improper
towing is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
