BEST METHOD

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 manufac-
turer’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 brack-
ets. State and local laws regarding vehicles
under tow must be observed.

If you must use the accessories (wipers, de-
frosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC
position.

If the vehicle's battery is discharged, refer to
"Manual Park Release" in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans-
mission out of PARK in order to move the
vehicle.

CAUTION!

• Do not use sling type equipment when

towing. Vehicle damage may occur.

• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed

truck, do not attach to front or rear suspen-
sion components. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.

CAUTION!

• If the vehicle being towed requires steer-

ing, the ignition switch must be in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode, not in the OFF
mode.

Four–Wheel Drive Models

The manufacturer recommends towing with
all wheels

OFF

the ground. Acceptable meth-

ods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with
one end of the vehicle raised and the opposite
end on a towing dolly.
