Traction Control system (DSTC). (See page
155 for information on this system.
FunctionA vehicle towing a trailer may begin to sway for
various reasons. Normally this only occurs at
high speeds but, for example, if the trailer is

220 Towing eyelet
Location of the towing eyelet
Attaching the towing eyelet
The towing eyelet is located under the floor of
the cargo area, with the spare tire. This eyelet
must be screwed into the positions provided on the right sides of either the front or rear
bumper (see illustration).
CAUTION If the vehicle is being towed on a flat bed
truck, the towing eyelets must not be used
to pull the vehicle up onto the flat bed.
NOTE
On certain models equipped with a trailer
hitch, the towing eyelet cannot be screwed
into the hole in the rear bumper. The towing
rope should be attached to the trailer hitch
instead. For this reason, the detachable
section of the trailer hitch should be safely
stowed in the vehicle at all times.
Attaching the towing eyelet
Use a coin to pry open the lower edge of
the cover.
Screw the towing eyelet in place, first by
hand and then using the tire iron until it is
securely in place.
After the vehicle has been towed, the eyelet
should be removed and returned to its storage
location. Press the cover for the attachment point back
into position.
WARNING If the vehicle has no electrical current and
must be towed, the power steering and
brake systems will not function normally. It
will still be possible to steer the vehicle and
apply the brakes. However, keep in mind
that greater effort will be required to turn the
steering wheel and depress the brake pedal.
Precautions when the vehicle is in tow
\b
The steering wheel must be unlocked. The
remote key must be in the ignition slot 1
.
\b Attach jumper cables (see page 107) to
provide current for releasing the optional
electric parking brake and to move the gear
