RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
Two-Wheel Drive And
All-Wheel Drive
• Recreational towing (with all four
wheels on the ground) is allowed
ONLY if the rear driveshaft is
removed and the transmission is in
NEUTRAL (for both RWD and AWD
vehicles).
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the
DVD for further details.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which
could cause serious injury or death.
• The parking brake must be firmly
engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to
the tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper
driveshaft removal and reinstallation
procedures, including flange
orientation/alignment, use of
thread-locking compound, proper
bolt torque specifications, etc.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of
the above requirements can cause
severe transmission and/or transfer
case damage. Damage from
improper towing is not covered
under your new vehicle warranties.
