Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing, for example towing
your vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines prevent damage to your
transmission.
Two-wheel Drive Vehicles
You cannot tow a two wheel drive vehicle
with any wheels on the ground as vehicle
or transmission damage may occur. You
must tow your vehicle with all four wheels
off the ground, for example when using a
car-hauling trailer.
Four-wheel Drive Vehicles Without 4x4
LOW
If your vehicle is not equipped with 4x4
Low, you cannot tow your vehicle with any
wheels on the ground or vehicle damage
may occur. You must tow your vehicle with
all four wheels off the ground, for example
when using a car-hauling trailer.
Four-wheel Drive Vehicles With 4x4
LOW
You can only tow a 4X4 LOW equipped
four-wheel drive vehicle with all wheels on
the ground by placing the transfer case in
its neutral position and engaging the four
wheel down towing feature. Perform the
steps outlined in the following section after
positioning your vehicle behind the tow
vehicle and properly securing them
together.
Four-wheel-down Towing
Note: Make sure you properly secure your
vehicle to the tow vehicle.
Entering Four-wheel-down Towing
1. Start your vehicle.
2. Select 2H on the 4WD mode selector
switch.
3. For vehicles equipped with a column
shifter, place the transmission in
neutral (N). For vehicles equipped with
a floor shifter, place the transmission
in Neutral Hold mode. See Automatic
Transmission (page 187).
4. Once the transmission is in neutral (N)
or Neutral Hold mode, turn the engine
off, but leave the key in the ON
position. For vehicles equipped with a
floor shifter, the information display
shows a Transmission Not in Park
message.
Note: If your vehicle is equipped with
intelligent access, you can keep the vehicle
on while turning the engine off by pressing
the START/STOP button two times
without pressing the brake pedal.
5. Press and hold the brake pedal.
6. Enable Neutral Tow through the
information display. See General
Information (page 109).
7. Press and hold the OK button until the
information display confirms Neutral
Tow is enabled.
Note: If completed successfully, the
information display shows Neutral Tow
Enabled Leave Transmission in Neutral.
This indicates that your vehicle is safe to
tow with all wheels on the ground.
Note: If you do not see the message in the
display, you must perform the procedure
again from the beginning.
Note: You may hear an audible noise as the
transfer case shifts into its neutral position.
This is normal.
8. Leave the transmission in neutral (N)
and turn the ignition as far as it can go
toward the off position. It does not turn
fully off when the transmission is in
neutral (N). If your vehicle has an
ignition key, you must leave the key in
the ignition while towing. To lock and
unlock your vehicle, use the keyless
