502 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other equipment designed for the purpose, following equipment manufacturer's instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing device to the main structural members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or associated brackets. State and local laws applying to vehicles under tow must be observed. Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles The transfer case must be in the NEUTRAL position and the transmission must be in PARK to tow a four-wheel drive vehicle unless all four wheels are OFF the ground. Refer to "Recreational Towing" in "Starting and Operating" for further information. The manufacturer recommends towing with all wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly. CAUTION! Failure to follow these towing methods could result in damage to the transfer case. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles If the transmission is operable, the vehicle may be towed with the transmission in NEUTRAL. Speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) and the distance must not exceed 15 miles (24 km).
