STARTING AND OPERATING 201
Use the following procedure to prepare your
vehicle for recreational towing:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on
level ground, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air
suspension, ensure the vehicle is set to
Normal Ride Height.
NOTE:
Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that
must be met before pushing the N
(NEUTRAL) button, and must continue to
be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements
are not met before pushing the N
(NEUTRAL) button or are no longer met
during the shift, then the N (NEUTRAL)
indicator light will flash continuously until
all requirements are met or until the N
(NEUTRAL) button is released.
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN
mode for a shift to take place and for the
position indicator lights to be operable. If
the ignition is not in the ON/RUN mode,
the shift will not take place and no posi-
tion indicator lights will be on or flashing.
A flashing N (NEUTRAL) position indicator
light indicates that shift requirements
have not been met.
If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift
air suspension, the engine should be
started and left running for a minimum of
60 seconds (with all the doors closed) at
least once every 24 hours. This process
allows the air suspension to adjust the
vehicle’s ride height to compensate for
temperature effects.
5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, push
and hold the recessed transfer case N
(NEUTRAL) button (located by the selector
switch) for more than four seconds. The
light behind the N symbol will blink,
indicating shift in progress. The light will
stop blinking (stay on solid) when the shift
to N (NEUTRAL) is complete. A “FOUR
WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL”
message will appear in the instrument
cluster.
N (NEUTRAL) Button
6. After the shift is completed and the N
(NEUTRAL) light stays on, release the N
(NEUTRAL) button.
7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE or
DRIVE.
8. Release the brake pedal for five seconds
and ensure that there is no vehicle
movement.
9. Press and hold the brake pedal. Shift the
transmission back into NEUTRAL.
10. Firmly apply the parking brake.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be
certain that the transfer case is fully in N
(NEUTRAL) before recreational towing to
prevent damage to internal parts.
