CAUTION!
•It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
• Damage to the transmission may occur if the transmission is shifted into PARKwith the transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) and the engine running. With the
transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) ensure that the engine is OFF prior to shifting
the transmission into PARK.
•
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.
• Tow only in the forward direction. Towing this vehicle backwards can cause
severe damage to the transfer case.
• Automatic transmissions must be placed in the PARK position for recreational
towing.
• Manual transmissions must be placed in gear (not in Neutral) for recreational
towing.
•
Before recreational towing, perform the procedure outlined under “Shifting Into
NEUTRAL (N)” to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL (N).
Otherwise, internal damage will result.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper
face bar will be damaged.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer
case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking brake.
The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move, even if the
