WARNINGS

Do not disconnect the battery during
recreational towing. Doing so will
prevent the transfer case from

shifting properly and may cause the vehicle
to roll even if the transmission is in P
(Park).

Shifting the transfer case to its
neutral position for recreational
towing may cause the vehicle to be

able to roll even if the transmission is in P
(Park). The driver or others could be
injured. Make sure the foot brake is
depressed and the vehicle is in a secure
and safe position while the transfer case
is being shifted to its neutral position.

Failing to put the transfer case in its
neutral position will damage vehicle
components.

Note: You can check four-wheel-down
towing status at any time by opening the
driver's door or turning the ignition to the
accessory or on position and verifying the
NEUTRAL TOW ENABLED message
displays in the cluster.

To exit four-wheel-down towing and return
the transfer case to its 2H position:

1.

With your vehicle still properly secured
to the tow vehicle, press and hold the
brake pedal.

2. Turn the ignition to the on position. Do

not start the engine.

3. Shift the transmission out of N and into

any gear.

4. Release the brake pedal.

Note: If completed successfully, the
instrument cluster displays 4X2, and
NEUTRAL TOW DISABLED.

Note: If the indicator light and message do
not display, you must perform the procedure
again from the beginning.

Note: You may hear an audible noise as the
transfer case shifts out of its neutral
position. This is normal.

5. Apply the parking brake, and then

disconnect the vehicle from the tow
vehicle.

6. Release the parking brake, start the

engine, and shift the transmission to
position D to make sure the transfer
case is out of position N.

7.

If the transfer case does not
successfully shift out of position N, set
the parking brake until you can have
your vehicle serviced.
