Recreational Vehicle Towing (Four-wheel Drive Oniy) 1. Set the parking brake firmly. 2. Place an automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a manual transmission in FIRST (1). 3. Firmly attach the vehicle being towedto the tow vehicle. Do not tow the vehicle by the rear bumper bar. Refer to the hitch manufacturer's instructions. 4. Place the transfer case shift leverin NEUTRAL (N). Recreational vehicle towing is not recommendedfor vehicles with the optional electronic shift transfer case no because the transfer case has neutral position. Shifting the transfer case into NEUTRAL (N) ca cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmissio is in PARK (P), for an automatic transmission, or if your vehicleis in gear, for a manual transmission. Thisis because the transfer case overrides the transmission. 5. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the towvehicle. 6.

This places the keyin the OFF position, which unlocks the steering column while preventing batterydrain.
