TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR WHEELS
Emergency Towing
If your vehicle becomes inoperable (without access to wheel dollies,
car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all
wheels on the ground, regardless of the powertrain and transmission
configuration) under the following conditions:
• Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction.
• Place the transmission in position N. See Automatic transmission in
the Transmission chapter if you cannot move the transmission into
N.
• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80 kilometers).
Four-wheel-down Towing
Note: Make sure you properly secure your vehicle to the tow vehicle.
Entering four-wheel-down towing
1. Put the ignition in the on position:
• If your vehicle has an ignition key, turn the key to on. Do not
start the engine.
• If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine
START/STOP button twice without pressing the brake pedal. Do
not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Rotate the four–wheel drive switch to 2H.
4. Shift the transmission to position N.
5. Rotate the four–wheel drive switch from 2H to 4L and back to 2H
five times within seven seconds.
• If completed successfully, the information display shows
NEUTRAL TOW LEAVE IN N or NEUTRAL TOW ENABLED
LEAVE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL. This indicates that
your vehicle is safe to tow with all wheels on the ground.
• If you do not see the message in the display, you must perform
the procedure again from the beginning.
• You may hear an audible noise as the transfer case shifts into its
neutral position. This is normal.
6. Release the brake pedal.
