Transporting the Vehicle

Follow these procedures when transporting the vehicle.

1. Properly load the vehicle onto the trailer or towing vehicle.

   WARNING

   If transporting the vehicle in a non-enclosed trailer, the vehicle must FACE FORWARD, or the roof must be removed. Failure to comply may allow airflow, vibration, or other factors to separate the roof from the vehicle and cause an accident, resulting in serious personal injury or death.

2. Apply the brakes.

3. Place the transmission in PARK. Stop the engine.

4. Prior to securing the vehicle, the key switch must remain in the ON position, the suspension mode switch must be in the COMFORT setting, and the demo mode timeout must not be active while securing the vehicle. Shock damping settings can be verified on the Suspension visualization screen.

5. Slowly release the brake pedal and make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.

6. Remove the key to prevent loss during transporting.

7. Ensure that all seats are attached correctly and are not loose.

8. Secure the fuel cap, and doors (if equipped).

   WARNING

   Cargo and other loose vehicle parts may fall off while transporting the vehicle. Secure or remove all cargo, and inspect the unit for loose parts prior to transport.

9. Using suitable straps, secure the vehicle to the trailer at the designated tie-down points (front and rear). The straps must be secured in a manner that provides support in all directions. Ensure that the straps are not making contact with any other part of the trailer or cargo, and that they are set with enough tension as to compress the suspension and prevent vehicle movement during transport.

   WARNING

   Vehicles equipped with DYNAMIX active suspension must be powered on, set to COMFORT mode, and properly functioning in order to ensure the shocks are operating at their minimum compression damping setting prior to securing the vehicle for transport. Failure to ensure the shocks are in their minimum compression damping setting prior to securing the vehicle can potentially lead to a reduction of intended strap tension while trailering.
   CAUTION

   Always use the provided tie-down points. Not using the provided vehicle tie-down points could lead to premature component failure and/or excess wear on the tie-down straps.
   WARNING

   Always secure the vehicle with at least four straps when trailering. Use two straps in the front, and two in the rear.
   WARNING

   Never use chains to tie down the vehicle. Do not lay straps over any sharp edges. Sharp edges may damage straps during transportation.

10. After the vehicle has been secured, verify the gauge indicates PARK, and turn the vehicle power off. Verify also that the suspension compression damping values are still soft after securing the vehicle. If after securing the suspension demo mode has timed out or the suspension has moved to a FIRM setting as indicated on the Suspension control screen, cycle the key switch, place the mode switch in COMFORT mode, and re-tighten the straps per step number 3.

11. Periodically inspect the vehicle and trailer during transit. Adjust cargo and straps as needed to ensure that the cargo cannot shift, or fall from the trailer or towing vehicle.
