on 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 re-
leased, and remains released, while being
towed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
transmission damage. Damage from im-
proper towing is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
The manufacturer requires towing with all
four wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable
methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed,
or with one end of the vehicle raised and the
opposite end on a towing dolly.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT tow this vehicle with ANY of its
wheels on the ground. Damage to the
drivetrain will result.

used. Internal damage to the transmis-
sion or power transfer unit will occur if a
front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.

Emergency Tow Hooks — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks,
there will be one in the rear and two mounted
on the front of the vehicle. The rear hook will
be located on the driver's side of the vehicle.
NOTE:
For off-road recovery, it is recommended to
use both of the front tow hooks to minimize
the risk of damage to the vehicle.
Place the ignition in the RUN and subse-
quently on ON, without opening the door.
During towing remember that not having the
aid of the power brakes and the electrome-
chanical power steering, greater force is
needed in applying the brakes and steering of
the vehicle.
