Manual transmissions must be placed in gear (not in Neutral) for recreational towing.

Before recreational towing, perform the procedure outlined under "Shifting Into N (Neutral)" to be certain that the transfer case is fully in N (Neutral). Otherwise, internal
damage will result.

Towing this vehicle in violation of the previously listed requirements can cause severe transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is not cov-
ered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
