Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels
Emergency Towing
If your vehicle becomes inoperable (without access to wheel dollies, car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain and transmission configuration) under the following conditions:

• Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction.
• Place the transmission in position N. If you cannot move the transmission into N, you may need to override it. See Automatic Transmission.
• Maximum speed is 56 km/h.
• Maximum distance is 80 km.

WARNING
If your vehicle has a steering wheel lock make sure the ignition is in the accessory or on position when being towed.
Recreational Towing
Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering your vehicle. See Manual Climate Control.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational towing, such as towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. We designed these guidelines to prevent damage to your transmission.
