heating, take the following actions:

is removed. Towing with the rear wheels on the ground
while the driveshaft is connected can result in severe
transmission damage.

The transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL for
recreational towing. The NEUTRAL selection button is
located at the top of the 4WD Control Switch. Shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL can take place with
the selector switch in any mode position.
CAUTION!
The transmission must be in PARK position for
recreational towing. Failure to follow these proce-
dures can cause severe transmission and/or trans-
fer case damage.
Internal damage to the transmission or transfer
case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used
when recreational towing.
