Practical advice
Towing away and tow-starting
Tow-starting (emergency engine
start)
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
transmission. For this reason, it is not pos-
sible to start the engine by tow-starting. If
the engine does not start, try jump-starting
( page 219).
Towing in the event of various
malfunctions:
In the event of engine damage, trans-
mission damage or electrical malfunc-
tioning
Shift the selector lever to N
( page 81).
Shift the transfer case to the neutral
position N ( page 85).
With transfer case damage
Before you tow the vehicle away, the pro-
peller shafts to the drive axles must be re-
moved.
