Jeep 2010 Liberty - Manual (Page 425)

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles
If the rear wheels are on the ground (whether front
wheels are raised or not), the vehicle may be towed with
the transmission in NEUTRAL, if the speed does not
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) and the distance does not
exceed 15 miles (25 km).
If the vehicle must be towed at a speed OR distance
exceeding these limits, it must be towed on a flatbed or
with the driveshaft removed. Refer to “Recreational Tow-
ing” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle with the rear wheels on the
ground at more than 30 mph (50 km/h) or for more
than 15 miles (25 km) can cause severe transmission
damage. Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles
The manufacturer recommends flatbed towing with all
four wheels OFF the ground.
If a flatbed is not available, the vehicle must be towed
with all four wheels ON the ground, the transfer case in
neutral, and the transmission in PARK (automatic trans-
mission) or in gear (manual transmission).
NOTE: Refer to “Recreational Towing” in “Starting and
Operating” for further information.
CAUTION!
Towing a four-wheel drive vehicle with only two
wheels on the ground (whether front wheels are
raised, or rear wheels) is NOT permitted and can
cause severe transmission and/or transfer case dam-
age. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
