Before towing
78RB08008
If you tow your vehicle with the front
wheels on the ground, shift the transmis-
sion into Neutral and make sure the 4WD
indicator on the instrument cluster comes
on when you use the transfer lever to shift
into 4-wheel drive high range position
(“4H”) and goes off when you use the
transfer lever to shift into 2-wheel high
drive position (“2H”) with the engine run-
ning. If the 4WD indicator does not come
on or it does not go off, that means, the air-
locking hubs cannot be locked or
unlocked, the vehicle must be towed with
the front wheels lifted and the rear wheels
on a dolly.
WARNING
A safety chain should always be used
when you tow your vehicle.
NOTICE
Do not tow your vehicle with the rear
wheels directly on the ground (and
the transmission in neutral). If you
do, the transmission will be damaged
fatally.
WARNING
For vehicles equipped with the dual
sensor brake support, if your vehicle
is towed with the engine on, press
dual sensor brake support OFF
switch and turn off the dual sensor
brake support. If not, accidents
related to the system being turned on
may occur.
NOTICE
Observe the following instructions
when towing your vehicle.
• To help avoid damage to your vehi-
cle during towing, proper equip-
ment and towing procedures must
be used.
• Using the frame hook, tow your
vehicle on paved roads for short
distances at low speed.
