Firmly set the parking brake. See Parking Brake on page 2-31 for more information. 3. Follow the dolly manufacturer's instructions to attach and secure the vehicle being towed to the dolly and then the loaded dolly to the tow vehicle. 4. Put an automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a manual transmission in FIRST (1). 5. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL. See Four-Wheel Drive on page 2-28 for instructions. 6. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the towing vehicle. Notice: If you exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) while towing your vehicle, it could be damaged. Never exceed 55 mph (90 km/h) while towing your vehicle. 7. Turn the ignition to LOCK.
