RECREATIONALLY TOWING
YOUR VEHICLE - 4X4 WARNING: Do not disconnect the

vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are to make sure that you do
not damage the transmission. You can only tow your vehicle with all
wheels on the ground by placing the
transfer case in its neutral position and
engaging the recreational tow feature.
Perform the following steps after
positioning your vehicle behind the tow
vehicle and properly securing them
together.

recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle.

neutral position can damage vehicle
components.
Note: You can check the towing status at
any time by opening the driver door or
turning the ignition to the accessory or on
