NOTE: The transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL (N), automatic transmission must be shifted into PARK, and manual transmission must be placed in gear (NOT in NEUTRAL) for recreational towing.

CAUTION!

Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing.
