Tow Truck Towing
CAUTION:
lAll applicable local laws regarding the towing operation must be obeyed.
lIt is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during
towing operation.
lAttach safety chains for all towing.
lWhen towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, a dolly must be used.
lWhen towing with the front wheels on the ground:
Turn the ignition key to the ``OFF'' position and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead
position with a rope or similar device. Never place the ignition key in the ``LOCK'' position. This
will result in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
lWhen towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake and move the gear-
shift lever to neutral position (``N'' position).
lNever tow vehicle from the rear (i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may cause
serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
lFor 4-wheel drive model:
Set the free-running hubs to the free position. Move the transfer case shift lever into the ``2H''
position and the transmission shift lever into the neutral (``N'') position.
