I concur with others. We have towed and 2010 and now have a 2013 and no key needed. However, just to be sure when I heard about this and had the 2010 I took it to a slight incline that was clear and let it roll down the incline with no key in ignition and me at the wheel. I turned the wheel both right and left as we rolled and no lock - just to be sure. You can't trust everything you read on the i-net!
