It is acceptable to have your two-wheel

drive vehicle towed with the front wheels

on the ground (without dollies) and the

rear wheels off the ground.

We recommend towing a four-wheel drive

vehicle with all wheels off the ground, such

as using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed

equipment. However, it is acceptable to

use a wheel lift to raise the rear of your

vehicle so long as, depending on vehicle

configuration, you perform the following

before towing:

• If your vehicle is equipped with a

manual-shift transfer case, make sure

the front wheel hub locks are in the

FREE position before towing.

• If your vehicle is equipped with an

electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer

case, make sure you turn the

four-wheel drive control to the 2H

position before towing.

Note: Towing an electronic shift-on-the-fly

four-wheel drive vehicle with the front

wheels on the ground without disengaging

the front hubs may cause damage to the

automatic transmission.

Note: Towing a two-wheel drive vehicle or

an electronic shift-on-the-fly four-wheel

drive vehicle with the rear wheels on the

ground for more than 50 miles (80 km) or

faster than 35 mph (56 km/h) may cause

damage to the automatic transmission.

Note: Using wheel lift equipment to tow a

dual rear wheel vehicle requires removing

an outer rear wheel before towing.

TOWING THE VEHICLE ON

FOUR WHEELS

Emergency Towing

If your vehicle becomes inoperable

(without access to wheel dollies,

car-hauling trailer, or flatbed transport

vehicle), it can be flat-towed (all wheels

on the ground, regardless of the powertrain

and transmission configuration) under the

following conditions:

• Your vehicle is facing forward for

towing in a forward direction.

• Place the transmission in position N. If

you cannot move the transmission into

N, you may need to override it. See

Transmission (page 142).

• Maximum speed is 35 mph (56 km/h).

• Maximum distance is 50 miles (80

kilometers).

Recreational Towing

Note: Put your climate control system in

recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust

fumes from entering your vehicle. See

Climate Control (page 103).

Follow these guidelines if you have a need

for recreational towing, such as towing

your vehicle behind a motorhome. We

designed these guidelines to prevent

damage to your transmission.

Two-wheel Drive Vehicles and

Four-wheel Drive Vehicles Equipped

with an Electronic-shift Transfer Case

Do not tow your vehicle with any wheels

on the ground, as vehicle or transmission

damage may occur. It is recommended to

tow your vehicle with all four (4) wheels

off the ground, such as when using a

car-hauling trailer. Otherwise, you cannot

tow your vehicle.
