This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a
tow dolly, follow this procedure:
• Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
• Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly, firmly set the parking brake and place the transmission in PARK.
• Turn the ignition switch to the unlocked OFF position.
• Install a suitable clamping device, designed for towing, to secure the front wheels in the straight position.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable and secure it away from the battery post.
• Flat towing (with all four wheels on the ground) is allowed ONLY if the
driveshaft is removed. Towing with the rear wheels on the ground while
the driveshaft is connected will result in severe transmission damage.
UTILITY

• The parking brakemustbe 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 – Four-Wheel Drive Models
• Depress the brake pedal and turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN
with the engine shut off.
• Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL by holding down the
NEUTRAL Pin switch for four
seconds until the LED starts to
blink. The LED will stop blinking
and remain on when the shift is
complete.
• Start the engine and shift into DRIVE to ensure there is no vehicle movement.
• Shut the engine off and shift the transmission into PARK.
• Place the ignition switch in the OFF position and remove the key.
• Apply the parking brake, attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle with a tow bar and release the parking brake.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
Towing with the rear wheels on the ground (while the driveshaft is
connected) will cause severe transmission damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

Oil Change IndicatorMessage• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHAngE OIL) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
Resetting The Light After Servicing
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending
overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this
heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core
to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the
engine cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads 240°F (116 °C) or greater pull over and stop
the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the
pointer drops back into the normal range 200–230°F (93–110°C). If
the pointer remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and you hear a chime,
turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze)
or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from
under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time
to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the
radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
