• Front or rear wheel lifts should not
be used. Internal damage to the
transmission or transfer case will
occur if a front or rear wheel lift is
used when recreational towing.
• It is necessary to follow these
steps to be certain that the
transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL
before recreational towing to
prevent damage to internal parts.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you
leave the vehicle unattended with
the transfer case in the NEUTRAL
position without first fully engaging
the parking brake. The transfer case
NEUTRAL position disengages both
the front and rear driveshafts from
the powertrain and will allow the
vehicle to move even if the
transmission is in PARK. The
parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the
vehicle.
