IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 329
FOUR–WHEEL DRIVE MODELS
FCA LLC US 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 operable, 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 (P)
(for automatic transmissions) or in gear (
NOT in NEUTRAL,
for manual transmissions)
Ú page 190.
WITHOUT THE KEY FOB
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with
the ignition in the OFF position. The only approved method
of towing without the key fob is with a flatbed truck. Proper
towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
