Vehicle recovery
Transporting the vehicle
Caution: Serious damage to the
vehicle and transmission will occur if
the vehicle is towed with the wheels on
the ground or on a suspended lift.
The only approved method of recovering
or transporting your vehicle is using a
flatbed trailer or transporter.
Note:
Damage caused by any other
recovery method will not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Before pulling the vehicle onto a flatbed
trailer or transporter, follow these steps:
•
attach the vehicle recovery eye
•
activate
Tow Mode
to disengage the
transmission lock, or turn the starter
switch to the ON position and select
the Neutral gear position
Caution: The transmission lock will
only be disengaged if the vehicle’s
electrical systems are operational.
Attaching the recovery eye
A vehicle recovery eye can be attached to
the front of the vehicle to allow the vehicle
to be pulled onto a transporter in
situations when the vehicle can roll freely.
Caution: Under no circumstances
should the vehicle be towed using
the vehicle recovery eye. Doing so can
cause significant damage to your vehicle.
1.
Retrieve the recovery eye from the
tool kit located in the trunk.

2.
Using a screwdriver, remove the
blanking plug from the recovery eye
mounting point behind the front grille.
Note:
The license plate may need to be
removed to access the recovery eye.
3.
Insert the recovery eye through the
hole in the front grille and screw into
the mounting point. Ensure the
recovery eye is fully tightened.
After use, remove the recovery eye and
return it to the tool kit. Install the blanking
plug back into the mounting point to
prevent dirt from entering.
