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 (for automatic transmissions) or in gear
(NOT in NEUTRAL, for manual transmissions).

ous injury or death.
