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 the vehicle raised and the opposite end
on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available and the
transfer case is operable, the vehicle 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
(P) (for automatic transmissions) or in gear
(NOT in NEUTRAL, for manual transmissions).
Refer to "Recreational Towing" in "Starting And
Operating" for detailed instructions.
CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used (if

the remaining wheels are on the ground).
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

requirements can cause severe transmis-
sion and/or transfer case damage. Damage
from improper towing is not covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Emergency Tow Hooks — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they
are mounted in the front and the rear.
NOTE:
For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use
both of the front tow hooks to minimize the risk
of damage to the vehicle. Always use an appro-
priately rated tow strap.
WARNING!
Do not use a chain for freeing a stuck

vehicle. Chains may break, causing serious
injury or death.
Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with

tow hooks. Tow straps may become disen-
gaged, causing serious injury.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to
rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not
use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or
highway towing. You could damage your
vehicle. Tow straps are recommended when
towing the vehicle, chains may cause vehicle
damage.
