equipment on a vehicle with the All

option, you must use a dolly under the rear wheels when
towing from the front and under the front wheels when
towing from the rear. On Rear
-Wheel Drive vehicles
observe the following tow limits.
Tow Limits

Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if
you need to have your vehicle towed. See “Roadside
Assistance” in the Index.
