NOTICE:
Use the proper towing equipment to avoid
damage to the bumper, fascia or fog lamp areas
of the vehicle.
With current trends in automotive styles and design, it is
essential that the correct towing equipment is used to
tow a vehicle. Your vehicle can be towed with wheel lift
or car carrier equipment. If your vehicle has a manual
transmission, you must use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels when towing from the front with wheel lift
equipment. Two
-wheel-drive vehicles must abide by
the following tow limits when being towed by wheel
lift equipment:
Towing from the front -- 35 mph (55 km/h),
50 miles (80 km)
Towing from the rear -- 35 mph (55 km/h),
50 miles (80 km)
When using wheel lift equipment to tow vehicles
equipped with the electronic shift transfer case, a towing
dolly must be placed under the rear wheels when towing
from the front and under the front wheels when towing
from the rear. When using wheel lift equipment to tow
vehicles equipped with the active transfer case, the
transfer case must be in NEUTRAL and the following
tow limits must be used:
Towing from the front
-- 55 mph (88 km/h) or legal
speed limit and distance is unlimited
Towing from the rear
-- 35 mph (55 km/h),
50 miles (80 km)
NOTICE:
If your vehicle is equipped with four-wheel drive
and the towing limits must be exceeded, a towing
dolly must be used under the front wheels or
vehicle/powertrain damage will occur.
Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if
you need to have your vehicle towed. See “Roadside
Assistance” in the Index.
