WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Without The Ignition Key
Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with the ignition in the LOCK
position. The only approved method of towing without the ignition key is with a
flatbed truck. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
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 (for automatic transmissions)
or in gear ( NOT in NEUTRAL, for manual transmissions). Refer to "Recreational
Towing" in "Starting And Operating" in the Owners Manual on the DVD for detailed
instructions.
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used. 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
transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
