• Recreational towing with all four
wheels on the ground is allowed

Manual. Towing with the rear
wheels on the ground while the
driveshaft is connected can result
in severe transmission damage.
• The parking brake must be firmly
engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. 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, including flange
orientation/alignment, use of
thread-locking compound, proper
