324 STARTING AND OPERATING RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.) 2WD Models Recreational towing of 2WD models is not allowable. Towing the vehicle with the transmission in NEUTRAL can cause severe transmission damage. Removal of the driveshaft for towing is not recommended, since this would allow fluid to drain from the transmission. 4WD Models CAUTION! (Continued) • The transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL for recreational towing. The NEUTRAL selection button is located on the lower left hand corner of the 4WD Control Switch. Shifts into and out of transfer case NEUTRAL can take place with the selector switch in any mode position. • Automatic transmissions must be placed in PARK position for recreational towing. • Manual transmissions must be placed in gear (for example, 4th gear) for recreational towing. Failure to follow these procedures can cause severe transmission and/or transfer case damage. CAUTION! • Internal damage to the transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing. (Continued)
