• Recreational towing (with all fourwheels on the ground) is allowed
ONLY if the rear driveshaft is removed

WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the

cause serious injury or death.
• The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to
the tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper
driveshaft removal and reinstallation
procedures, including flange
orientation/alignment, use of
thread-locking compound, proper bolt
torque specifications, etc.

Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe
