NOTE: The transfer case must be in the

Shifting Into NEUTRAL
Use the following procedure to
prepare your vehicle for recreational
towing.
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop
and shift the transmission to PARK.
Turn the engine off.
For vehicles with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
remove the Keyless Enter-N-Go
button and use the Key Fob to
complete this procedure.
Turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position, but do not start
the engine.
Press and hold the brake pedal and
shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
Using a ballpoint pen or similar
object, press and hold the recessed
transfer case N (Neutral) button for
four seconds, until the light next to
the N symbol starts to blink,
indicating shift in progress. The light
will stop blinking (stay on solid)
when the shift to N (Neutral) is
complete. A “FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will
display on the EVIC (Electronic
Vehicle Information Center).
Start the engine and shift the
transmission into REVERSE.
Release the brake pedal for five
seconds and ensure that there is no
vehicle movement.
Turn the engine off and firmly apply
the parking brake.
Shift the transmission into PARK and
remove the Key Fob.
Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle
using a suitable tow bar and release
the parking brake.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with
Quadra-Lift™ must be lowered to the
“Park” (lowest) level, and have automatic
leveling disabled, before tying them down
(from the body) on a trailer or a flatbed
truck. Refer to “Quadra-Lift™” in
“Off-Road Capabilities” for more
information. If the vehicle cannot be
lowered to the “Park” level (for example,
engine will not run), tie-downs must be
fastened to the axles (not the body).
Failure to follow these instructions may
cause fault codes to be set and/or loss of
proper tie-down tension.
