Two-Wheel Drive Models Recreational towing of two-wheel drive 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.

The NEUTRAL button is located on the lower left hand corner of the transfer case switch. Shifts into and out of transfer case NEUTRAL can take place with the transfer case switch in any mode position. • Automatic transmissions must be placed in PARK position for recreational towing. • Failure to follow these procedures can cause severe transmission and/or transfer case damage. 5
