IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to
prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow
bars and other equipment designed for this
purpose, following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory.
Attach a tow bar or other towing device to main
structural members of the vehicle, not to
bumpers or associated brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
NOTE:
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.
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
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.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the RUN mode. If the key fob is
unavailable, or the vehicle’s battery is
discharged, refer to “Gear Selector Override” in
this section for instructions on shifting the
transmission out of PARK so that the vehicle
can be moved.
Front Wheel Drive (FWD)
The manufacturer recommends towing your
vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground 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).
