• Press and hold the brake pedal and shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.

• Press and hold the transfer case N (Neutral) button for four seconds, until the light

next to the N symbol starts to blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to N (Neutral) is complete.

• Start the engine and shift the transmission into REVERSE.

• Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle

movement.

• Turn the engine off and firmly apply the parking brake.

• Shift the transmission into PARK and remove the Key Fob.

• Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar and release the

parking brake.

CAUTION!

• Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will cause severe transmission

damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

• 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.
