450 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
Four–Wheel Drive Models
The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheels OFF
the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a
flatbed or with one end of the vehicle raised and the opposite
end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available and the transfer case is
operabl
e, the vehicle may be towed (in the forward direction,
with ALL wheels on the ground), IF the transfer case is in
NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in PARK (for auto
-
matic transmissions) or in gear (N
OT in NE
UTRAL, for
manual transmissions). Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” for detailed instructions.
Emergency Tow Hooks — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are
mounted in the front and the rear.
NOTE:
For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the
f
ront t
ow hooks to minimize the risk of damage to the
vehicle. Always use an appropriately rated tow strap.
CAUTION!
• D
o not use sling type equipment when towing. Vehicle
damage
may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not
attach
to front or rear suspension components. Damage
to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used (if the
remain
ing wheels are on the ground). Internal damage
to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front
or rear wheel lift is used when towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above require-
ments
can cause severe transmission and/or transfer
case da
mage. Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
