NOTE: The transfer case must be in

position for recreational towing.
Shifting Into NEUTRAL
• Use the following procedure to
prepare your vehicle for recreational
towing.
• Bring the vehicle to a complete
stop and shift the transmission to
PARK. Turn the engine off.
• For vehicles with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, remove the Keyless
Enter-N-Go button and use the Key
Fob to complete this procedure.
• Turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position, but do not start
the engine.
• Press and hold the brake pedal and
shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• Using a ballpoint pen or similar
object, press and hold the
recessed transfer case N (Neutral)
button for four seconds, until the
light next to the N symbol starts to
blink, indicating shift in progress.
The light will stop blinking (stay on
solid) when the shift to N (Neutral)
is complete. A “FOUR WHEEL
DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL”
message will display on the EVIC
(Electronic Vehicle Information
Center).
• Start the engine and shift the
transmission into REVERSE.
• Release the brake pedal for five
seconds and ensure that there is
no vehicle movement.
• Turn the engine off and firmly apply
the parking brake.
• Shift the transmission into PARK
and remove the Key Fob.
• Attach the vehicle to the tow
vehicle using a suitable tow bar and
release the parking brake.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with
Quadra-Lift™ must be lowered to the
“Park” (lowest) level, and have
automatic leveling disabled, before tying
them down (from the body) on a trailer
or a flatbed truck. Refer to
“Quadra-Lift™” in “Off-Road
Capabilities” for more information. If the
vehicle cannot be lowered to the “Park”
level (for example, engine will not run),
tie-downs must be fastened to the axles
(not the body). Failure to follow these
instructions may cause fault codes to
be set and/or loss of proper tie-down
tension.
