Vehicle Care 10-95
Two-wheel-drive vehicles should
not be towed with all four wheels
on the ground. Two-wheel-drive
transmissions have no provisions
for internal lubrication while being
towed.
Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles
Use the following procedure to
dinghy tow a four-wheel-drive
vehicle:
1. Position the vehicle being
towed behind the tow
vehicle.
2. Put an automatic transmission
in P (Park) or a manual
transmission in 1 (First).
3. Turn the engine off and firmly set
the parking brake. See Parking
Brake on page 9‑47.
4. Securely attach the vehicle
being towed to the tow vehicle.

WARNING
Shifting a full‐time
four‐wheel‐drive vehicle's
transfer case into N (Neutral)
can cause the vehicle to roll
even if the automatic transmission
is in P (Park) or the manual
transmission is in any gear. You
or others could be injured. Make
sure the parking brake is firmly
set before the transfer case is
shifted to N (Neutral).
5. Shift the transfer case to
N (Neutral). See “Shifting into
N (Neutral)” under Four-Wheel
Drive on page 10‑31.
6. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF
and remove the key — the front
wheels will still turn.
7. Release the parking brake only
after the vehicle being towed is
firmly attached to the towing
vehicle.
After towing see “Shifting Out of
N (Neutral)” under Four-Wheel Drive
on page 10‑31.
If the vehicle being towed will not be
started or driven for six weeks or
more, remove the battery cable from
the negative terminal (post) of the
battery to prevent the battery from
draining.
