OVERDRIVE OFF SWITCH
• Overdrive can be locked out by
pressing the O/D OFF switch located
on the center console. An indicator
light in the instrument cluster will
illuminate to show that the switch has
been activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores the Overdrive
function.
• When frequent transmission shifting
occurs while using Overdrive, such as
when operating the vehicle under
heavy load conditions (for example, in
hilly terrain, strong head winds, or
trailer towing), turning off overdrive will
improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing
excessive shifting and heat buildup.
RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME)
Towing - Two-Wheel Drive
Models
• Recreational towing with all four
wheels on the ground is allowed
ONLY if the rear driveshaft is
removed. See your authorized dealer
or refer to the Service Manual. Towing
with the rear wheels on the ground
while the driveshaft is connected can
result in severe transmission damage.
• The parking brake must be firmly
engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to
the tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper driveshaft
removal and reinstallation procedures,
including flange orientation/alignment,
use of thread-locking compound,
proper bolt torque specifications, etc.
Towing - Four-Wheel Drive
Models
NOTE: The transfer case must be shifted
into N (Neutral), automatic transmission
must be shifted into PARK, and manual
transmission must be placed in gear (NOT

the brake pedal.

NEUTRAL or depress the clutch
pedal on a manual transmission.

(Neutral).
