The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the
wheels chocked during driveshaft removal and installa-
tion. 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 orienta-
tion/alignment, use of thread-locking compound, proper
bolt torque specifications, etc.

The transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL and the
transmission must be placed in PARK for recreational
towing. The NEUTRAL selection button is located at the
top of the transfer case switch. Shifts into and out of
transfer case NEUTRAL can take place with the selector
switch in any mode position.

CAUTION!

The transmission must be in PARK position for

recreational towing. Failure to follow these proce-
dures can cause severe transmission and/or trans-
fer case damage.

Internal damage to the transmission or transfer

case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used
when recreational towing.

Before recreational towing, perform the procedure

outlined under “Shifting into NEUTRAL” to be
certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL.
Otherwise, internal damage will result.

Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on tow bar

on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be
damaged.
