CAR CARRIER LOADING AND TRANSPORTING:
Special Precautions:
• Car carrier equipment is the preferred method of towing this vehicle.
• When loading or winching, DO NOT USE HOOKS OF ANY TYPE ON THE LOWER CONTROL
ARMS OR ANY OTHER STEERING OR SUSPENSION COMPONENT. Carefully follow the
loadingproceduresspeciedonthefollowingpages.
• USE ONLY WHEEL STRAP TIE-DOWNS to secure this vehicle when transporting. The use of
chains or hooks will damage under-vehicle components.
• To have steering capabilities, power to this vehicle is required and the vehicle needs to be in the
"ON" setting.
• In an emergency situation where the vehicle will not roll or must be moved for towing access,
wheel-jacking equipment, such as GoJaks or tire skates, are recommended.
• If the vehicle's electronics are operational, the air suspension must be set to "Access Height," before
securing. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle.
• Utilize as much ramping as required to reduce the approach angle and retain adequate ground clear-
ance at the front and rear of the vehicle.

CAR CARRIER LOADING PROCEDURE:
Tie-down Method:
• Whenthevehicleisinitsloadedpositionontheatbedandthedeckofthecarcarrierisstillinthe
deployedposition,securethevehiclewithawheelchocktopreventitfromrollingandattachtherst
wheel strap over the tire closest to you. Continue securing the vehicle on all four corners.
• Once the bed is in its transport position and the vehicle is secured to the bed with four wheel strap tie-
downs, place the transmission into Park and ensure the parking brake is set to help secure the vehicle.
• Clearance around the wheel is limited and careful routing of straps is needed to avoid contacting brake
lines and wheel speed sensor wires, especially behind the front wheels. Careful routing of the straps is
also important to avoid contact with the painted surfaces of the vehicle.
• After securing, slacken the winch line slightly to prevent any downward pull on the towing eyebolt. This
will help to prevent damage if bumps are encountered during transport. Ensure the Start/Stop button is
OFF and the electronic key is removed from the vehicle.

CAR CARRIER LOADING PROCEDURE:
Rear Towing Eyebolt: (image 3)
Vehicles not equipped with a receiver hitch may come equipped with
a rear towing eyebolt. The eyebolt is stored in the rear compartment
withthetireinatorkit.
NOTE: The eyebolt is designed for a straight pull within a 20 degree
window. Only load the vehicle onto the carrier deck far enough to
safely transport the vehicle. Stop loading when the winch line begins
to pull downward. To prevent downward pull, keep the leading edge
of the vehicle at least 2 feet from the winch drum (this will vary
based on the towing equipment used).
SKATES: (image 4)
In the event Neutral cannot be selected or a failure with the parking
brake mechanism causes the wheels not to roll, wheel dollies such as
“GoJaks” or tire skates can be used under the non-rolling wheels to
assist with loading the vehicle. Care must be taken when installing
tire skates or GoJaks due to the limited clearance around the wheels
and between the vehicle and the ground.
Car Carrier Loading Procedures:
• Before loading, secure the vehicle, ensure the
transmission is in Neutral and the parking brake is
released.
Front Attachment Location: (image 1)
This vehicle is equipped with a towing eye that should
be used for loading and unloading. It is located under a
plastic cover in the center of the lower-front bumper.
1. Unscrew the four fasteners counter-clockwise with a
non-marring tool to release the rear lower edge.
2. Starting at one end, pull the cover forward from the
rear lower edge to release the locating tabs and clips
on the top edge of the cover.
Rear Attachment Location: (image 2)
This vehicle is equipped with a towing eye behind a
removable plastic cover under the rear bumper.
1. Unscrew the two fasteners counter-clockwise with a
non-marring tool to release the lower edge.
2. Starting at one end, pull the cover forward from the
rear lower edge to release the locating tabs and clips
on the top edge of the cover.

expected if the battery gets disconnected or is severely dis-
charged:
• Alarm may trigger, depending on its state when the
battery is disconnected. If the alarm does sound, use
the smart key, in the normal way, to disarm the security
system.
• The windows may need recalibrating to operate correctly.
TIP: To help prevent these concerns, use a charged Keep
Alive Memory (KAM) unit to provide power to the vehicle
while the battery is disconnected. It is important to note that
