4x2 and 4x4 vehicles equipped with a manual transmission:
Note: 4x2 vehicles with a manual transmission and 4x4 vehicles with an
electronic-shift transfer case and a manual transmission, follow these
guidelines for recreational towing:
Note: 4x4 vehicles equipped with an electronic-shift transfer case, you
must set the 4WD control to 2H (2WD High) before flat towing.
Before you have your vehicle towed:
• Release the parking brake.
• Move the gearshift to the neutral position.
• Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF/UNLOCKED position.
• The maximum recommended speed is 88 km/h (55 mph).
• The maximum recommended distance is unlimited.
• The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transmission components.
In addition, it is recommended that you follow the instructions
provided by the aftermarket manufacturer of the towing
apparatus if one has been installed.
4x4 vehicles equipped with manual-shift transfer case:
• Release the parking brake.
• Turn the key in the ignition to the OFF/UNLOCKED position.
• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
• Place the transfer case lever in N (Neutral).
• Do not exceed 88 km/h (55 mph) vehicle speed.
• The maximum recommended distance is unlimited.
• The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no
damage is done to the internal transfer case components.
The transfer case N (Neutral) position overrides the transmission
and puts the vehicle in neutral regardless of transmission
gearshift lever position. The vehicle can move forward or
backward.
This position should only be used when towing the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the
N (Neutral) position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn
off the ignition when leaving the vehicle.
