If flatbed equipment is not available, and the
transfer case is operable, vehicles with a two-
speed transfer case may be towed (in the for-
ward direction, with ALL wheels on the ground),
IF the transfer case is in NEUTRAL (N) and the
transmission is in PARK. Refer to “Recreational
Towing” in “Starting And Operating” for de-
tailed instructions.
V ehicles equipped with a single-speed transfer
case have no NEUTRAL position, and therefore
must be towed will all four wheels OFF the
ground.
CAUTION!
• Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used
(if the remaining wheels are on the
ground). Internal damage to the transmis-
sion or transfer case will occur if a front or
rear wheel lift is used when towing.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above
requirements can cause severe transmis-
sion and/or transfer case damage. Damage
from improper towing is not covered under
the New V ehicle Limited W arranty.
Emergency Tow Hooks — If Equipped
If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, there
will be one in the rear and two mounted on the
front of the vehicle. The rear hook will be lo-
cated on the driver's side of the vehicle.
NOTE:
For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use
both of the front tow hooks to minimize the risk
of damage to the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Do not use a chain for freeing a stuck
vehicle. Chains may break, causing serious
injury or death.
• Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with
tow hooks. Tow straps may become disen-
gaged, causing serious injury.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to
rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not use
tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway
towing. Y ou could damage your vehicle.
