4WD Models With Electronic Transfer Case
Note:
The electronic shift transfer case must be shifted into NEUTRAL for recreational towing. Automatic transmissions must be shifted into the PARK position for recreational towing. Refer to the following procedure for the proper transfer case NEUTRAL shifting procedure for your vehicle.
Preparation For Recreational Towing – Electronic Shift Transfer Case
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing:
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, turn the ignition key to the ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine.
Press the brake pedal and shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
Press and hold the transfer case switch NEUTRAL button for four seconds.
After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL light turns on, release the NEUTRAL button.
Start the engine and shift the transmission into REVERSE.
Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
Repeat the previous two steps with the transmission in DRIVE.
Remove the key fob from the ignition switch.
Shift the transmission into PARK and apply the parking brake.
Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle with the tow bar and release the parking brake.
Note:
The first two steps are requirements that must be met prior to depressing the NEUTRAL button, and must continue to be met until the four seconds elapse and the shift has been completed. If any of these requirements (with the exception of Key ON) are not met prior to depressing the NEUTRAL button or are no longer met during the four second timer, then the NEUTRAL indicator light will flash continuously until all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL button is released.
The flashing NEUTRAL indicator light indicates that shift requirements have not been met.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow these requirements can cause severe damage to the transmission and/or transfer case.
