CAUTION!

Towing this vehicle with ANY of its wheels on the
ground can cause severe transmission and/or power
transfer unit damage. Damage from improper towing
is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.

Recreational Towing — 4X4 Models With 2-Speed
Power Transfer Unit

The power transfer unit must be shifted into NEUTRAL

(N) and the transmission must be in PARK for recre-

ational towing. The NEUTRAL (N) selection button is

adjacent to the power transfer unit selector switch. Shifts

into and out of NEUTRAL (N) can take place with the

selector switch in any mode position.

CAUTION!

DO NOT dolly tow any 4x4 vehicle. Towing with

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

Tow only in a forward direction. Towing this ve-

hicle backwards can cause severe damage to the
power transfer unit.

The transmission must be in PARK for recreational

towing.

Before recreational towing, perform the procedure

outlined under “Shifting into NEUTRAL (N)” to be
certain that the power transfer unit is fully in
NEUTRAL (N). Otherwise, internal damage will
result.
