Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for
recreational towing.

CAUTION!

It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that
the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL (N) before
recreational towing to prevent damage to internal
parts.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine

running.

2. Press and hold the brake pedal.

3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.

4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspen-

sion, ensure the vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height.

5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold

the recessed transfer case “N” button (located by the
selector switch) for four seconds. The light behind the
N symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress. The
light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to
“N” is complete. A “FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the EVIC
(Electronic Vehicle Information Center). Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
