UTILITY • 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. • Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed 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. A "FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL" message will display on the EVIC (Electronic Vehicle Information Center). • 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. NOTE: Vehicles equipped with Quadra-Lift™ must be lowered to the "Park" (lowest) level, and have automatic leveling disabled, before tying them down (from the body) on a trailer or a flatbed truck. Refer to "Quadra-Lift™" in "Off-Road Capabilities" for more information. If the vehicle cannot be lowered to the "Park" level (for example, engine will not run), tie-downs must be fastened to the axles (not the body). Failure to follow these instructions may cause fault codes to be set and/or loss of proper tie-down tension. 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. 92
