(from the body) on a trailer or a flatbed truck. Refer to “Quadra-Lift™” in
“Off-Road Capabilities” for more information. If the vehicle cannot be
lowered to the “Park” level (for example, engine will not run), tie-downs must
be fastened to the axles (not the body). Failure to follow these instructions
may cause fault codes to be set and/or loss of proper tie-down tension.

• Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is
used when recreational towing.
• It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL before recreational towing to prevent
damage to internal parts.
