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. |
You can flat-tow (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain or transmission configuration) your disabled vehicle (without access to wheel dollies or vehicle transport trailer) under the following conditions:
- Your vehicle is facing forward so you tow it in a forward direction.
- You shift into neutral (N). If you cannot shift into neutral (N), you may need to override the transmission. See Transmission.
- Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
- Maximum distance is 50 mi (80 km).
Recreational Towing
Note:
Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. See
Climate Control.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational vehicle towing. An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. These guidelines are to make sure you do not damage the transmission during towing.
Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels on the ground, as vehicle or transmission damage may occur. It is recommended to tow your vehicle with all four wheels off the ground, for example when using a vehicle transport trailer. Otherwise, you cannot tow your vehicle.
