Before you tow your vehicle, follow these directions for your specific

vehicle configuration after it is hooked-up to the RV or tow dolly:

Vehicles with a manual transmission:

1. Release the parking brake.

2. Move the gearshift to the neutral position.

3. The maximum towing speed is 70 mph (113 km/h).

4. There is no limitation on towing distance.

Note: The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no

damage is done to the internal transmission components. In addition, it is

recommended that you follow the instructions provided by the

aftermarket manufacturer of the towing equipment, if provided.

Vehicles with an automatic transmission but no push button start

system:

1. Release the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition to the on (II) position.

3. Press the brake pedal, then move the gearshift to the N (Neutral)

position. There must be battery power to properly move the

transmission’s internal components to N (Neutral). Also, moving the

gearshift to the N (Neutral) without first turning the ignition to the on

(II) position limits the towing capability to 35 mph (56 km/h) and

50 miles (80 km).

4. Turn the ignition key to the off (0) position.

5. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery. (The anti-theft

system is disabled until the battery cable is reconnected.) Refer to

Battery in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter when

disconnecting and reconnecting the battery cable.

6. The maximum towing speed is 70 mph (113 km/h).

7. There is no limitation on towing distance.

8. When done towing, start the engine within 15 minutes of reconnecting

the battery cable. When reconnecting that cable, tighten it until it’s snug

against the terminal; be careful not to overtighten.

Note: The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no

damage is done to the internal transmission components. In addition, it is

recommended that you follow the instructions provided by the

aftermarket manufacturer of the towing equipment, if provided.
