NOTE: The NV 244 Generation II transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL, and the transmission must be shifted into PARK 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. Shifting into NEUTRAL Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing. Vehicles equipped with an NV 140 Transfer Case (which has no NEUTRAL position) may NOT be used for recreational towing. 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.
