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.
CAUTION!
• Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will cause severe transmission
damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
• Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmis-
sion or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when
recreational towing.
• It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully
in NEUTRAL before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer
case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The
transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts
from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move even if the transmission is
in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the
vehicle.
