NOTICE:
If you tow your four-wheel-drive vehicle from
the front, make sure to move the transfer case
into NEUTRAL or your vehicle could be badly
damaged and the damage would not be covered
by your warranty.
Stop towing every 200 miles (300 km) and start the
engine. Leave the transfer case shift lever in NEUTRAL.
Shift your automatic transmission to DRIVE (D); leave
a manual transmission in SECOND (2) with the clutch
engaged. Run the engine at medium speed for one minute
to circulate oil in the transfer case. Turn the ignition key
to ACC. Now, you can continue towing your vehicle.
NOTICE:
The front wheels transmit shocks during towing.
The steering column may not be strong enough to
withstand the shocks. Always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the towing speed does not
exceed 55 mph (90 km/h), or your vehicle could
be badly damaged.

The best way to tow your vehicle is from the rear.
Follow these steps:
1. Put the rear wheels on a dolly.

Do not tow your vehicle with the rear wheels
in contact with the ground, or the transmission
could be damaged.
2. If your vehicle is a four-wheel-drive vehicle,
turn the ignition key to ON, move the transfer
case lever into NEUTRAL and make sure the 4WD
light on the instrument panel cluster is turned off.
See ªFour
-Wheel Driveº in the Index.
3. Turn the ignition key to ACC to unlock the
steering wheel.
4. Make sure the front wheels are facing straight
forward and secure the steering wheel with a
steering wheel clamping device designed for towing.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the towing speed does not
exceed 55 mph (90 km/h), or your vehicle could
be badly damaged.
CAUTION:
Shifting a four-wheel-drive vehicle's transfer
case into NEUTRAL 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.
