Four-Wheel Drive Models - Jeep 2014 Grand Cherokee Owner's Manual

Four-Wheel Drive Models

The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheels
OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the
vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of vehicle raised and
the opposite end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transfer
case is operable, vehicles with a two-speed transfer case
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. Refer to "Recreational
Towing" in "Starting And Operating" for detailed in-
structions.
Vehicles equipped with a single-speed transfer case have
no NEUTRAL position, and therefore must be towed
with all four wheels OFF the ground.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 563
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used. Internal
damage to the transmission or transfer case will
occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above re-
quirements can cause severe transmission and/or
transfer case damage. Damage from improper tow-
ing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
