Rear Towing (Rear Wheels off the Ground)

If your vehicle has an electronic transfer case, you can dolly tow your vehicle from the rear only if the rear wheels are on the dolly. Use the following steps to dolly tow your vehicle:

1.Follow the dolly manufacturer’s instructions to attach and secure the vehicle being towed to the dolly and then the loaded dolly to the tow vehicle.

2.Firmly set the parking brake.

3.Put the automatic or manual transmission in NEUTRAL (N).

4.Release the parking brake only after the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the towing vehicle.

{CAUTION:

Shifting a four-wheel-drive vehicle’s transfer case into NEUTRAL can cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in Park (P) for an automatic transmission, or if your vehicle is in gear, for a manual transmission. You or others could be injured. Make sure the parking brake is firmly set before you shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL.

Notice: Do not exceed the posted speed limit when towing your vehicle. If you do, your vehicle could be badly damaged.

5.Turn the ignition to OFF. To prevent your battery from draining while towing, remove the RDO BATT and CLSTR fuses from the instrument panel

fuse block. Be sure to replace the fuse when you reach your destination. See Instrument Panel Fuse Block on page 5-98.
