Dodge 2010 Dakota - Manual (Page 326)

RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND
MOTORHOME, ETC.)
Two-Wheel Drive Models
Recreational towing of two-wheel drive models is not
allowable. Towing the vehicle with the transmission in
NEUTRAL can cause severe transmission damage. Re-
moval of the driveshaft for towing is not recommended,
since this would allow fluid to drain from the
transmission.
Four-Wheel Drive Models
CAUTION!
• Internal damage to the transfer case will occur if a
front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational
towing.
• The transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL
for recreational towing. The NEUTRAL button is
located on the lower left hand corner of the trans-
fer case switch. Shifts into and out of transfer case
NEUTRAL can take place with the transfer case
switch in any mode position.
• Automatic transmissions must be placed in PARK
position for recreational towing.
• Failure to follow these procedures can cause se-
vere transmission and/or transfer case damage.
