Tires, Wheels and Loading Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission 4x2 and 4x4 vehicles with an automatic transmission follow these guidelines for recreational towing: • Release the parking brake. • Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF/UNLOCKED position. • Place the transmission in N (Neutral). • Do not exceed a distance of 50 miles (80 km). • Do not exceed 35 mph (56 km/h) vehicle speed. • Put 4x4 switch in 2WD mode (4x4 only) • The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no damage is done to the internal transfer case components. For 4x4 vehicles with an automatic transmission, a Neutral Tow Kit must be purchased and installed by an authorized dealer if a distance of 50 miles (80 km) or a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) must be exceeded. For 4x2 vehicles with an automatic transmission, if a distance of 50 miles (80 km) or a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) must be exceeded, you must disconnect the rear driveshaft. It is recommended that the driveshaft be removed/installed only by an authorized dealer. See your authorized dealer for driveshaft removal/installation. Improper removal/installation of the driveshaft can cause transmission fluid or transfer case fluid loss, damage to the driveshaft and internal transmission and transfer case components.
