NOTE:

Both the manual shift and electronic shift trans-

fer cases must be shifted into NEUTRAL (N) for recre-

ational towing. Automatic transmissions must be shifted

into PARK for recreational towing. Manual transmissions

must be placed in gear (NOT in NEUTRAL) for recre-

ational towing. Refer to the following for the proper

transfer case NEUTRAL (N) shifting procedure for your

vehicle.

CAUTION!

DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Towing with

only one set of wheels on the ground (front or rear)
will cause severe transmission and/or transfer case
damage. Tow with all four wheels either ON the
ground, or OFF the ground (using a vehicle trailer).
