Towing”
portion located in Section 4 in your
owner’s manual.
Recreational Vehicle Towing
(Four-wheel Drive with the Manual
Transfer Case
Only)
1. Set the parking brake fiily.
2. Place an automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a
manual transmission
in FIRST (1).
3. Firmly attach the vehicle being towed to the tow
vehicle.
Do not tow the vehicle by the rear bumper
bar. Refer to the hitch manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Place the manual shift transfer case shift lever in
NEUTRAL (N).
Shifting the transfer case into NEUTRAL (N) can
cause your vehicle to
roll even if the transmission
is in PARK (P), for an automatic transmission,
or if your vehicle is in gear, for a manual
transmission. You
or others could be injured.
Make
sure the parking brake is firmly set before
you
shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL (N).
5. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle
being towed is firmly attached to the tow vehicle.
6. Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and
turn it one notch forward of the LOCK position. This
places the key in the
OFF position, which unlocks
the steering column while preventing battery drain.
Unlocking the steering column will allow
for proper
movement of the front wheelskires during towing.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine About Driving Your Vehicle
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or an
accident. Be sure to read
the “on-pavement” and
“off-road” driving guidelines in this manual. (See
“Driving Guidelines” and “Off-Road Driving with your
Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicle” in the Index.)
How to Use this Manual
Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning
to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If you
do this, it will help
you learn about the features and
controls for your vehicle. In this manual,
you’ll find
that pictures and words work together to explain
things quickly.
Index
A good place to look for what you need is the Index
in the back
of the manual. It’s an alphabetical list of
all that’s in the manual, and
the page number where
you’ll find
it.
Safety Warnings and Symbols
You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.
We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell
you
about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore
the warning.
I A CAUTION:
These mean there is something that could hurt
you or other people.
In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then
we
tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the
hazard. Please read these cautions.
If you don’t, you or
others could be hurt.
iii

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You will also find a circle
with a slash through
it in
this book. This safety
symbol means “Don’t,”
“Don’t do this,” or “Don’t
let this happen.”
Vehicle Damage Warnings
Also, in this book you will find these notices:
I NOTICE:
These mean there is something that could
damage
your vehicle.
In the notice area, we tell you about something that can
damage
your vehicle. Many times, this damage would
not be covered by your warranty, and
it could be costly.
But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid
the damage.
When you read other manuals,
you might see
CAUTION and NOTICE warnings
in different colors or
in different words.
You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use
the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.
