dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow
this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle,
following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Apply the parking brake. Place transmission in
PARK. Turn the engine off.
4. Properly secure the front wheels to the dolly,
following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
5. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN mode, but do
not start the engine.
6. Press and hold the brake pedal.
7. Release the parking brake.
8. Turn the ignition OFF, remove the key fob, and
release the brake pedal.

The power transfer unit must be shifted into N
(NEUTRAL) and the transmission must be in PARK
for recreational towing. The N (NEUTRAL) selection
button is adjacent to the 4WD selector switch.
Shifts into and out of N (NEUTRAL) can take place
with the selector switch in any mode position.
CAUTION!
Towing with the front wheels on the ground
will cause severe transmission damage.
Damage from improper towing is not covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is
released, and remains released, while being
towed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle with
ANY of its wheels on the
ground can cause severe transmission and/or
power transfer unit damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
DO NOT dolly tow any 4x4 vehicle. Towing with
only one set of wheels on the ground (front or
rear) will cause severe transmission and/or
power transfer unit damage. Tow with all four
wheels either ON the ground, or OFF the
ground (using a vehicle trailer).
Tow only in a forward direction. Towing this
vehicle backwards can cause severe damage
to the power transfer unit.
The transmission must be in PARK for recre-
ational towing.
Before recreational towing, perform the proce-
dure outlined under “Shifting into N
(NEUTRAL)” to be certain that the power
transfer unit is fully in N (NEUTRAL). Other-
wise, internal damage will result.
