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. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
Vehicles with a Manual Transmission
Your vehicle can be towed with all four
wheels on the ground or with the front
wheels off the ground by using a tow dolly.
If you are using a tow dolly follow the
instructions specified by the equipment
provider. If you tow your vehicle with all
wheels on the ground, follow these
instructions:
1. Tow only with your vehicle in the
forward direction. Release the parking
brake.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Place the ignition in the accessory position. See Starting and Stopping
the Engine (page 113).
Note: Do not exceed 70 mph (113 km/h)
when towing your vehicle.
Vehicles with an Automatic
Transmission - with Ignition Switch
Note: There must be battery power to
properly move the transmission ’s internal
components to neutral in step 3. Also,
moving the gearshift to the neutral position
without first turning the ignition to the on II
position limits the towing capability to 35
mph (56 km/h) and 50 miles (80
kilometers).
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Switch the ignition to the on (
II)
position.
3. Press the brake pedal, then move the gearshift to the neutral position. 4. Wait for a message indicating that the
transmission is ready in the information
and entertainment display, then switch
the ignition off and release the brake
pedal.
5. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery. The anti-theft system
is disabled until the battery cable is
reconnected. See
Changing the 12V
Battery (page 186).
Note: The maximum towing speed is 70
mph (113 km/h).
Note: There is no limit on towing distance.
After towing, start the engine within 15
minutes of reconnecting the battery cable.
See
Changing the 12V Battery (page 186).
Vehicles with an Automatic
Transmission - with Keyless Starting
Note: There must be battery power to
properly move the transmission ’s internal
components to neutral in step 3. Also,
moving the gearshift to the neutral position
without first turning the ignition to the on II
position limits the towing capability to 35
mph (56 km/h) and 50 miles (80
kilometers).
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Switch the ignition on by pressing the keyless start button, but do not apply
the brake pedal.
3. Press the brake pedal, then move the gearshift to the neutral position.
Release the brake pedal.

CHANGING A FUSE
Fuses WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that
has the specified amperage rating.
Using a fuse with a higher amperage
rating can cause severe wire damage and
could start a fire. If electrical components in the vehicle are
not working, a fuse may have blown. Blown
fuses are identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate fuses
before replacing any electrical
components.
