IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
37
All Wheel Drive (AWD) Models
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
If the transmission and driveline are operable,
AWD models can also be towed with the ignition
in the ON/RUN mode, the transmission in
NEUTRAL (not in PARK!), and the rear wheels
OFF the ground with no limitation on speed or
distance. Since the ignition MUST be in the
ON/RUN mode to tow in this manner, AWD vehi
-
cles must be towed with ALL FOUR wheels OFF
the ground (e.g. on a flatbed truck) if the key fob
is unavailable.
Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Models
The manufacturer 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
flat towed (with all four wheels on the ground)
under the following conditions:
The transmission must be in NEUTRAL.
The towing distance must not exceed
15 miles (24 km).
The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph
(48 km/h).
If the transmission is not operable, or the
vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or farther than 15 miles (24 km),
then the only acceptable method of towing is
with a flatbed truck.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is
towed with the ignition in the OFF mode. The
only approved method of towing without the key
fob is with a flatbed truck. Proper towing equip
-
ment is necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.

DO NOT use sling-type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.

truck, do not attach to front or rear suspen
-
sion components. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
