UTILITY Shifting Into NEUTRAL Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing. • Bring the vehicle to a complete stop and shift the transmission to PARK. • Turn the engine off. • For vehicles with Keyless Enter-N-Go, remove the Keyless Enter-N-Go button and use the Key Fob to complete this procedure. • Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine. • Press and hold the brake pedal and shift the transmission into NEUTRAL. • Press and hold the transfer case N (Neutral) button for four seconds, until the light next to the N symbol starts to blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to N (Neutral) is complete. • Start the engine and shift the transmission into REVERSE. • Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement. • Turn the engine off and firmly apply the parking brake. • Shift the transmission into PARK and remove the Key Fob. • Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar and release the parking brake. CAUTION! • • • Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will cause severe transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing. It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts. WARNING! You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move even if the transmission is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. 92
