Shifting Into NEUTRAL
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for four seconds. The light behind
the N symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blinking (stay on
solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A “FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN
NEUTRAL” message will display on the EVIC (Electronic Vehicle Information Center).
5. After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL (N) light stays on, release the NEUTRAL (N)
button.
6. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
7. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
8. Shift the transmission back into NEUTRAL.
9. Firmly apply the parking brake.
10. With the transmission and transfer case in NEUTRAL, press and hold the ENGINE
START/STOP button until the engine turns off. Turning the engine off will automatically
place the transmission in PARK.
11. Press the ENGINE STOP/START button again (without pressing the brake pedal), if needed,
to turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the transmission is shifted into PARK with the
transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) and the engine running. With the transfer case in NEUTRAL
(N) ensure that the engine is OFF before shifting the transmission into PARK.
12. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
13. Release the parking brake.
