When your vehicle is being towed, have the ignition key
turned to the
OFF
position. The steering wheel should
be clamped in a straight-ahead position with a clamping
device designed for towing service.
Do
not
use the
vehicle’s steering column lock for this. The transmission
should be in NEUTRAL (N) and the transfer case,
if
you
have
one,
should be
in
2HI. The parking brake should
be released.
If your vehicle has a floor-mounted shifter and no
electrical power, the electrical solenoid lock must be
overridden to shift from PARK
(P)
to NEUTRAL
(N).
Follow these steps:
1.
Push
the
base of the shift lever boot forward with
your thumb.
2. Lift the boot and find the white solenoid lever
3.
Move the solenoid lever
toward the driver’s side
to unlock it.
4.
While holding the solenoid lever
in
the unlock
position, press
the
shift lever button and shift into
NEUTRAL (N).
5.
Release the solenoid lever and snap the boot back
into
place.
Don’t have your vehicle towed on the drive wheels
unless you must. If
the
vehicle must be towed
on
the
drive wheels, be sure to
follow
the speed and distance
restrictions later in this section
or
your transmission will
be damaged. If these limitations must be exceeded, then
the drive wheels have to be supported on a dolly.
