RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
• Recreational towing is allowed ONLY if
the driveshaft is removed. Towing
with the rear wheels on the ground
while the driveshaft is connected can
result in severe transmission damage.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which could
cause serious injury or death.
• 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 bolt
torque specifications, etc.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION
INTERLOCK MANUAL
OVERRIDE
• Your vehicle may be equipped with a
shift lock manual override.

pedal pressed.
• To operate the shift lock manual
override, perform the following steps:
• Turn the Key Fob to the ON position
but do not start the engine.
• Firmly set the parking brake.
• Using a flat-bladed screwdriver,
carefully remove the shift lock
manual override cover which is
