Recreational Towing — All-Wheel Drive Models (Single-Speed Transfer Case)
Recreational towing is not allowed. These models do not have a NEUTRAL (N) position in
the transfer case.
NOTE:
This vehicle may be towed on a flatbed or vehicle trailer provided all four wheels are OFF
the ground.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe transmis-
sion and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Recreational Towing — All-Wheel Drive Models (Two-Speed Transfer Case)
The transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission must be in
PARK for recreational towing. The NEUTRAL (N) selection button is adjacent to the
transfer case selector switch. Shifts into and out of transfer case NEUTRAL (N) can take
place with the selector switch in any mode position.

(front or rear) will cause severe transmission and/or transfer case damage. Tow with
all four wheels either ON the ground, or OFF the ground (using a vehicle trailer).

damage to the transfer case.

Otherwise, internal damage will result.

mission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
