7. Leave the transmission in position N.
• If your vehicle has an ignition key, turn the ignition as far as it
goes toward the off position (it does not turn fully off when the
transmission is in position N.) You must leave the key in the
ignition while towing. To lock and unlock your vehicle, use the
keyless entry keypad or extra set of keys.
• If your vehicle has intelligent access, turn the ignition off by
pressing the engine START/STOP button once without pressing on
the brake pedal. You do not need to leave your keys in the
vehicle. You can lock and unlock your vehicle as you normally do.
WARNING: Do not disconnect the battery during recreational
towing. Doing so will prevent the transfer case from shifting
properly and may cause the vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in
P (Park).
WARNING: Shifting the transfer case to its neutral position for
recreational towing may cause the vehicle to be able to roll even
if the transmission is in P (Park). The driver or others could be injured.
Make sure the foot brake is depressed and the vehicle is in a secure
and safe position while the transfer case is being shifted to its neutral
position.
WARNING: Failing to put the transfer case in its neutral position
will damage vehicle components.
Note: You can check four-wheel-down towing status at any time by
opening the driver’s door or turning the ignition to the accessory or on
position and verifying the NEUTRAL TOW ENABLED LEAVE
TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL message displays in the cluster.
Exiting four-wheel-down towing
To exit four-wheel-down towing and return the transfer case to its 2H
position:
1. With your vehicle still properly secured to the tow vehicle, put the
ignition in the on position:
• If your vehicle has an ignition key, turn the key to on. Do not
start the engine.
• If your vehicle has intelligent access, press the engine
START/STOP button twice without pressing the brake pedal. Do
not start the engine.
