All-Wheel Drive Models

The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheels
OFF

the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the

vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of the vehicle raised
and the opposite end on a towing dolly.

If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transfer
case is operable, the vehicles with a two-speed transfer
case

may be towed (in the forward direction, with ALL

wheels on the ground), IF the transfer case is in NEU-
TRAL and the transmission is in PARK. Refer to “Recre-
ational Towing” in “Starting and Operating” for detailed
instructions.

Vehicles equipped with a single-speed transfer case have
no NEUTRAL position, and therefore must be towed will
all four wheels OFF the ground.

CAUTION!

• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used. Internal

damage to the transmission or transfer case will
occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.

• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above re-

quirements can cause severe transmission and/or
transfer case damage. Damage from improper tow-
ing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
