TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
PRECAUTIONS
Use the following guidelines when towing
your vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in vehicle damage
not covered by the vehicle warranty.

RECREATIONALLY TOWING
YOUR VEHICLE - 4X4
WARNING:
Do not disconnect the
battery when recreationally towing your
vehicle. This prevents the transfer case
from shifting properly and could cause
the vehicle to roll, even if the
transmission is in park (P).
WARNING:
Placing the transfer
case in its neutral position could cause
your vehicle to freely roll. Make sure you
press and hold the brake pedal and the
vehicle is in a secure, safe position when
you place the transfer case in its neutral
position.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing. An example of
recreational towing would be towing your
vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are to make sure that you do
not damage the transmission.
You can only tow your vehicle with all
wheels on the ground by placing the
transfer case in its neutral position and
engaging the recreational tow feature.
Perform the following steps after
positioning your vehicle behind the tow
vehicle and properly securing them
together.
Note:
Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle.
Note:
Failure to put the transfer case in its
neutral position can damage vehicle
components.
Note:
You can check the towing status at
any time by opening the driver door or
turning the ignition to the accessory or on
position.
