WARNING
Shifting a four-wheel-drive
vehicle's transfer case into
N (Neutral) can cause the vehicle
to roll even if the transmission is
in P (Park). The driver or others
could be injured. Make sure the
parking brake is firmly set before
the transfer case is shifted to
N (Neutral).
4. Shift the transfer case to
N (Neutral). See “Shifting into
Neutral” under “Four-Wheel
Drive” for the proper procedure
to select the Neutral position for
the vehicle.
5. Release the parking brake only
after the vehicle being towed is
firmly attached to the towing
vehicle.
6. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF
and remove the key — the
steering wheel will still turn.
After towing, see “Shifting Out of
Neutral” under “Four-Wheel Drive”
for the proper procedure to take the
vehicle out of the Neutral position.

Front Towing (Front Wheels Off
the Ground) – Two-Wheel-Drive
Vehicles and Four-Wheel Drive
Vehicles with a Single Speed
Automatic Transfer Case
Notice: If a two-wheel drive
vehicle or a four-wheel drive
vehicle with a single speed
automatic transfer case is towed
with the rear wheels on the
ground, the transmission could
be damaged. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Never tow the vehicle
with the rear wheels on the
ground.
Two-wheel-drive vehicles and
four-wheel drive vehicles with a
single speed automatic transfer
case should not be towed with the
rear wheels on the ground.
Two-wheel-drive transmissions have
no provisions for internal lubrication
while being towed. Four-wheel drive
vehicles with a single speed
automatic transfer case have no
neutral position and will spin the
transmission when the rear
wheels turn.
To dolly tow a two‐wheel‐drive
vehicle or a four-wheel drive vehicle
with a single speed automatic
transfer case, the vehicle must be
towed with the rear wheels on the
dolly. See “Rear Towing (Rear
Wheels Off the Ground)” later in this
section for more information.
