Exceeding these limits may allow water to enter vehicle components:

• causing internal damage to the components.

• affecting driveability, emissions and reliability.

Replace the rear axle lubricant any time the axle has been submerged in

water. Rear axle lubricant quantities are not to be checked or changed

unless a leak is suspected or repair required.

RECREATIONAL TOWING

Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing.

An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind

a motorhome. These guidelines are designed to ensure that your

transmission is not damaged.

Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to

prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle. Refer to the Climate

controls chapter for more information.

2WD vehicles: 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, no recreational towing is permitted.

4WD vehicles equipped with manual-shift transfer case:

• Release the parking brake.

• Turn the key in the ignition to the off position.

• Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

• Place the transfer case lever in N (Neutral).

• The maximum recommended distance is unlimited.

• The vehicle must be towed in the forward position to ensure no

damage is done to the internal transfer case components.

The transfer case N (Neutral) position overrides the transmission and

puts the vehicle in neutral regardless of transmission gearshift lever

position. The vehicle can move forward or backward. This position

should only be used when towing the vehicle.

WARNING: Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the

transfer case in the N (Neutral) position. Always set the parking

brake fully and turn off the ignition when leaving the vehicle.

After reaching the destination, you must place your vehicle’s 4x4

gearshift lever in gear (2H, 4H or 4L).
