WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 479 If the vehicle's battery is discharged, see Brake/ Transmission Interlock Manual Override (under Starting and Operating, Automatic Transmission) for instructions on shifting the automatic transmission out of the PARK position for towing. Towing Without the Ignition Key Fob Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the LOCK position. The only approved method of towing without the ignition key is with a flatbed truck. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. Two-Wheel Drive 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 towed (with rear wheels on the ground) with the transmission in NEUTRAL. Speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) and the distance must not exceed 15 miles (24 km). CAUTION! • Do not attempt to use sling type equipment when towing. When securing the vehicle to a flat bed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing. • If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN or ACC position, not in the LOCK position. 6
