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
manufacturer’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 brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, 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 “Shift Lever Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK for towing.
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
suspension components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
