TABLE OF CONTENTS
COMMAND-TRAC/ROCK-TRAC
The transfer case provides four mode
positions: 2H (Two-wheel drive high
range), 4H (Four-wheel drive high range),
N (Neutral), and 4L (Four-wheel drive low
range).
The transfer case is intended to be driven
in the 2H position for normal street and
highway conditions such as hard-
surfaced roads.
Shifting Between 2H And 4H
Shifting between 2H and 4H can be
made with the vehicle stopped or in mo-
tion. Shift the transfer case lever firmly to
4H at any speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Automatic Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL then shift the transfer
case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the
shift is completed, place the automatic transmission into DRIVE.
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Manual Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the transfer case lever firmly
to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the shift is completed,
release the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
To enhance off-road performance in 4L mode, manual transmission vehicles will start
regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is depressed.

Refer to local laws for maximum trailer towing speeds.
NOTE:
The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo (ie. the GVWR), and the GVWR
should never exceed the weight referenced on the Tire and Loading Information placard. Refer to “Tire Safety Information” in
“Starting And Operating” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.

Recreational Towing — Four-Wheel Drive Models
NOTE:
The transfer case must be shifted intoNEUTRAL (N),automatic transmission must be
shifted into PARK,and manual transmission must be placed in gear (NOT in
NEUTRAL) for recreational towing.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Towing with only one set of wheels on the ground (front or rear) will cause severe transmission and/or transfer case
damage. Tow with all four wheels either ON the ground, or OFF the ground
(using a vehicle trailer).
• Tow only in the forward direction. Towing this vehicle backwards can cause
severe damage to the transfer case.
• Automatic transmissions must be placed in PARK for recreational towing.
• Manual transmissions must be placed in gear (not in Neutral) for recreational
towing.
• Before recreational towing, perform the procedure outlined under “Shifting
Into NEUTRAL (N)” to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL
(N). Otherwise, internal damage will result.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper
face bar will be damaged.
Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and rear
drive shaft from the powertrain, and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the
automatic transmission is in PARK (or manual transmission is in gear). The
parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
