WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 515 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 drivetrain are operable, vehicles equipped with AWD can also be towed with the ignition in the ON/RUN position, 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 position to tow in this manner, AWD vehicles must be towed with ALL FOUR wheels OFF the ground (e.g. on a flatbed truck) if the Key Fob is unavailable. CAUTION! (Continued) • Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. 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, this vehicle may be towed (with rear wheels on the ground) under the following conditions: • The transmission must be in NEUTRAL. • The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h). • The towing distance must not exceed 15 miles (24 km) for 5-speed transmission, or 30 miles (48 km) for 8-speed transmission. 6 CAUTION! • Towing this vehicle using any other method could result in extensive damage to the transfer case and/or transmission.
