Towing Front-wheel drive vehicles must have the front wheels placed on a tow dolly when towing your vehicle from the rear using wheel lift equipment. This prevents damage to the transmission. Towing an all-wheel drive vehicle requires that all wheels be off the ground, such as using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment. This prevents damage to the transmission, all-wheel drive system and vehicle. If your vehicle becomes inoperable (without access to wheel dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain and transmission configuration) under the following conditions: • Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction. • You place the vehicle in Stay in Neutral mode. See Placing Your Vehicle in Stay in Neutral Mode. In addition, make sure to read the brake-shift interlock override procedure. See Automatic Transmission (page 171). • Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h). • Maximum distance is 50 mi (80 km). Placing Your Vehicle in Stay in Neutral Mode 1. Press the N button on the shifter assembly. 2. When Press N again to Enter Stay in Neutral Mode appears in the information display, press the N button again. Note: The message Stay in Neutral Mode Engaged appears in the information display when you successfully complete the procedure. Note: Keeping the vehicle in Stay in Neutral mode eventually causes your vehicle battery to lose charge. Exit the mode as soon as safely possible. Recreational Towing Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. See Climate Control (page 135). Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing. An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. We designed these guidelines to prevent damage to your transmission. TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS Emergency Towing WARNING If your vehicle has a steering wheel lock make sure the ignition is in the accessory or on position when being towed. 244
