The power transfer unit must be shifted into
NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission must be in
PARK for recreational towing. The NEUTRAL (N)
selection button is adjacent to the 4WD selector
switch. Shifts into and out of NEUTRAL (N) can
take place with the selector switch in any mode
position.
CAUTION!
DO NOT dolly tow any 4x4 vehicle. Towing

with only one set of wheels on the ground
(front or rear) will cause severe transmis-
sion and/or power transfer unit damage.
Tow with all four wheels either ON the
ground, or OFF the ground (using a vehicle
trailer).
Tow only in a forward direction. Towing this

vehicle backwards can cause severe
damage to the power transfer unit.

CAUTION! (Continued)
Before recreational towing, perform the

procedure outlined under "Shifting into
NEUTRAL (N)" to be certain that the power
transfer unit is fully in NEUTRAL (N). Other-
wise, internal damage will result.
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above

requirements can cause severe transmis-
sion and/or power transfer unit damage.
Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is

released, and remains released, while
being towed.
Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on

tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face

STARTING AND OPERATING
Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you
leave the vehicle unattended with the power
transfer unit in the NEUTRAL (N) position
without first fully engaging the parking brake.
The NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both
the front and rear driveshafts from the
powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll,
even if the transmission is in PARK. The
parking brake should always be applied when
the driver is not in the vehicle.
