CAUTION!
DO NOT dolly tow any AWD vehicle. Towing
with only one set of wheels on the ground
(front or rear) will cause severe transmis-
sion and/or transfer case damage. Tow with
all four wheels either ON the ground, or
OFF the ground (using a vehicle trailer).
Tow only in the forward direction. Towing
this vehicle backwards can cause severe
damage to the transfer case.
The transmission must be in P ARK for
recreational towing.
Before recreational towing, perform the
procedure outlined under “Shifting Into

fer case is fully in NEUTRAL (N). Other-
wise, internal damage will result.

Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you
leave the vehicle unattended with the trans-
fer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position with-
out first fully engaging the parking brake.
The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position
disengages both the front and rear drive-
shafts from the powertrain and will allow the
vehicle to roll, even if the transmission is in
PARK. The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
Use the following procedure to prepare your
