Recreational Towing Procedure —
Electronic Shift Transfer Case
• Use the following procedure to
prepare your vehicle for recreational
towing:
• Bring the vehicle to a complete stop,
turn the ignition key to the ON
position, but do not start the engine.
• Press the brake pedal and shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Press and hold the transfer case
switch NEUTRAL button for four
seconds.
• After the shift is completed and the
NEUTRAL light turns on, release the
NEUTRAL button.
• Start the engine and shift the
transmission into REVERSE.
• Release the brake pedal for five
seconds and ensure that there is no
vehicle movement.
• Repeat the previous two steps with
the transmission in DRIVE.
• Turn the engine OFF and place the
ignition key in the unlocked OFF
position.
• Shift the transmission into PARK and
apply the parking brake.
• Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle
with the tow bar and release the

NOTE:
• The first two steps are requirements
that must be met prior to depressing
the NEUTRAL button, and must
continue to be met until the four
seconds elapse and the shift has
been completed. If any of these
requirements (with the exception of
Key ON) are not met prior to
depressing the NEUTRAL button or are
no longer met during the four second
timer, then the NEUTRAL indicator
light will flash continuously until all
requirements are met or until the
NEUTRAL button is released.
• The flashing NEUTRAL indicator light
indicates that shift requirements have
not been met.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the
DVD for further details.
