CAUTION
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing:
WARNING
You or others could be injured or killed if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the (N) Neutral position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case (N) Neutral position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the automatic transmission is in PARK (or the manual transmission is in gear). The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
