UTILITY RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.) Two-Wheel Drive And All-Wheel Drive • Recreational towing (with all four wheels on the ground) is allowed ONLY if the rear driveshaft is removed and the transmission is in NEUTRAL (for both RWD and AWD vehicles). • Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details. CAUTION! Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under your new vehicle warranties. WARNING! If the driveshaft is removed, the vehicle can roll even if the transmission is in PARK, which could cause serious injury or death. • The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the wheels chocked during driveshaft removal and installation. The parking brake must remain engaged unless the vehicle is securely and properly connected to the tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is completely reinstalled. See your authorized dealer for proper driveshaft removal and reinstallation procedures, including flange orientation/alignment, use of thread-locking compound, proper bolt torque specifications, etc. 37
