Opening the Fuel Fill Door Manually, Emergency Towing Opening the Fuel Fill Door Manually LID Emergency Towing If your vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service or organization. Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous. The only way you can safely tow your vehicle is with flat-bed equipment. The operator will load your vehicle on the back of a truck. Any other method of towing will damage the drive system. When you contact the towing agency, inform them a flat-bed is required. RELEASE LEVER To open the fuel fill door, pull the release lever rearward. If the fuel fill door release button does not work, use the release lever inside the rear fuse box lid in the cargo area. Towing with only two tires on the ground will damage parts of the allwheel-drive system. Your vehicle should be transported on a flat-bed truck or trailer. 572
