TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
PRECAUTIONS
Use the following guidelines when towing
your vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in vehicle damage
not covered by the vehicle warranty.
Note:
Make sure you properly secure your
vehicle to the tow vehicle.
Note: If you are unsure of the vehicle ’s
configuration, contact an authorized dealer.
RECREATIONALLY TOWING
YOUR VEHICLE - 4X4 WARNING: Do not disconnect the
battery when recreationally towing your
vehicle. This prevents the transfer case
from shifting properly and could cause
the vehicle to roll, even if the
transmission is in park (P). WARNING:

case in its neutral position could cause
your vehicle to freely roll. Make sure you
press and hold the brake pedal and the
vehicle is in a secure, safe position when
you place the transfer case in its neutral
position.
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing. An example of
recreational towing would be towing your
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.

fumes from entering your vehicle.

neutral position can damage vehicle
components.

Note:
For dual rear wheels, align the
ornament with the lug nuts. (A) is the clip
in the ornament and (B) is the flange of the
lug nut. Make sure that each of the retention
clips are sitting on a lug nut flange. Note:
If the ornament retention clips are
aligned between the studs or lug nuts, the
ornament will be improperly installed. This
improper installation may appear and sound
correct, but will not keep the ornament on
the vehicle. Ornaments improperly installed
in this manner may become loose or fall off
during driving. Use your hand or a rubber mallet to tap the
ornament until the retention clips snap
over the lug nut flanges. Tap in a star
pattern until the ornament seats fully onto
the wheel. There should be an even gap
between the ornament and the wheel
when it is properly installed.
Stowing the Flat Tire or Spare Tire
1. Place the tire on end with the valve
stem facing toward the front of the
vehicle. Lay the tire on the ground, near
the rear of the vehicle, with the valve
stem side facing up.
