CAUTION!

Do not use sling type equipment when towing.
Vehicle damage may occur.

When securing the vehicle to a flat bed truck, do not
attach to front or rear suspension components. Dam-
age to your vehicle may result from improper towing.

Without The Ignition Key

Special care must be taken when the vehicle is towed with

the ignition in the LOCK position. The only approved

method of towing without the ignition key is with a flatbed

truck. Proper towing equipment is necessary to prevent

damage to the vehicle.

Four–Wheel Drive Models

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 the vehicle raised and the

opposite end on a towing dolly.

If flatbed equipment is not available and the transfer case

is operable, the vehicle may be towed (in the forward

direction, with

ALL

wheels on the ground),

IF

the transfer

case is in

NEUTRAL

(N) and the transmission is in

PARK

(for automatic transmissions) or in gear (

NOT

in

NEU-

TRAL

, for manual transmissions). Refer to “Recreational

Towing” in “Starting And Operating” for detailed instruc-

tions.

CAUTION!

Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used (if the
remaining wheels are on the ground). Internal dam-
age to the transmission or transfer case will occur if
a front or rear wheel lift is used when towing.

Towing this vehicle in violation of the above require-
ments can cause severe transmission and/or transfer
case damage. Damage from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
