Recreational Towing - Four-Wheel Drive Models - Dodge 2011 Nitro Owner's Manual

378 STARTING AND OPERATING
Flat towing (with all four wheels on the ground) is
allowed ONLY if the driveshaft is removed. Towing
with the rear wheels on the ground while the driveshaft
is connected will result in severe transmission damage.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the vehicle can roll even
if the transmission is in PARK, which could cause
serious injury or death.
The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the
wheels chocked during driveshaft removal and installa-
tion. The parking brake must remain engaged unless the
vehicle is securely and properly connected to the tow
vehicle, or the driveshaft is completely reinstalled. See
your authorized dealer for proper driveshaft removal
and reinstallation procedures,
orientation/alignment, use of thread-locking compound,
proper bolt torque specifications, etc.
Towing with the rear wheels on the ground (while the
driveshaft is connected) will cause severe transmis-
sion damage. Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
