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.

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

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

transfer unit.
The transmission must be in PARK for recreational
towing.
Before recreational towing, perform the procedure
outlined under “Shifting into N (NEUTRAL)” to be
certain that the power transfer unit is fully in N
(NEUTRAL). Otherwise, internal damage will result.

requirements can cause severe transmission and/or
power transfer unit 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.
Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on
your vehicle. The fascia/bumper face bar will be
damaged.
