the engine. For vehicles with Keyless Enter-N-Go, push and hold the ENGINE
START/STOP button until the engine shuts off.
11. Shift the transmission into PARK or place manual transmission in gear (NOT in
Neutral). On 8-speed transmissions the shifter will automatically select PARK
when the engine is turned off.
12. Turn the ignition to the OFF mode, then cycle the ignition to the RUN mode and

13. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
14. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
With electronic shift transfer case:
• Steps 2 through 4 are requirements that must be met before pushing the
NEUTRAL (N) button, and must continue to be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements are not met before pushing the NEUTRAL
(N) button or are no longer met during the shift, the NEUTRAL (N) indicator light
will flash continuously until all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL (N)
button is released.
• The ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode for a shift to take place and for the
position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition is not in the ON/RUN mode,
the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing.
• A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light indicates that shift requirements
have not been met.
• If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, the engine should be started and
left running for a minimum of 60 seconds (with all the doors closed) at least once
every 24 hours. This process allows the air suspension to adjust the vehicle’s ride
height to compensate for temperature effects.

Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for normal usage:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving it connected to the tow vehicle.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal.
4. Start the engine. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL. Depress the clutch pedal
on a manual transmission.
• With manual shift transfer case, shift the transfer case lever to the desired
position.
