Proper towing or lifting equipment is required
to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only
tow bars and other equipment designed for
this purpose, following equipment manufac-
turer’s instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towingdevice to main structural members of the
vehicle, not to bumpers or associated brack-
ets. State and local laws regarding vehicles
under tow must be observed.If you must use the accessories (wipers, de-
frosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC
position.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
202
If the vehicle's battery is discharged, refer to
"Manual Park Release" in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans-
mission out of PARK in order to move the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Do not use sling type equipment when
towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed
truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to
your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steer-
ing, the ignition switch must be in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode, not in the OFF
mode.
Without The Key Fob
Special care must be taken when the vehicle
is towed with the ignition in the OFF mode.
The only approved method of towing without
the key fob 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 wheelsOFFthe ground. Acceptable meth-
ods 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, withALL
wheels on the ground),IFthe transfer case is
inNEUTRAL(N) and the transmission is in
PARK. Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” for detailed
instructions.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the trans-
mission or transfer case will occur if a
front or rear wheel lift is used when
towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the
above requirements can cause severe

“Tow Eye Usage Precautions” and the “Tow-
ing A Disabled Vehicle” instructions in this
section.
The tow eyes are mounted below the front and
rear bumpers.

Cooling System
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 open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator
or coolant bottle is hot.
• Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
WARNING!
• When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
Coolant Checks
Check the engine and, intercooler (if
equipped) coolant (antifreeze) protection ev-
ery 12 months (before the onset of freezing
weather, where applicable). If the engine
and, intercooler (if equipped) is dirty or rusty
in appearance, the system should be drained,
flushed and refilled with fresh OAT coolant
(conforming to MS.90032) by an authorized
dealer. Check the front of the A/C condenser
(if equipped) or radiator for any accumulation
of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently
spraying water from a garden hose vertically
down the face of the A/C condenser (if
equipped) or the back of the radiator core.
Check the engine and, intercooler (if
equipped) cooling system hoses for brittle
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness ofthe connection at the coolant recovery bottle
and radiator. Inspect the entire system for
leaks. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT
PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYS-
TEM IS HOT.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be in-
spected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Plan” in this section for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and pos-
sible brake damage. You would not have
your full braking capacity in an emergency.
