UTILITY • Shut OFF the engine and place the ignition key in the unlocked OFF position. • Shift the transmission into PARK and apply the parking brake. • Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle with the tow bar and release the parking brake. NOTE: • The first two steps are requirements that must be met prior to depressing the NEUTRAL button, and must continue to be met until the four seconds elapse and the shift has been completed.
