TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
PRECAUTIONS

Use the following guidelines when towing
your vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in vehicle damage
not covered by the vehicle warranty.

Note:

Make sure you properly secure your

vehicle to the tow vehicle.

Note:

If you are unsure of the vehicle’s

configuration, contact an authorized dealer.

RECREATIONALLY TOWING
YOUR VEHICLE - MANUAL
TRANSMISSION

WARNING:

Do not disconnect the

battery when recreationally towing your
vehicle. This prevents the transfer case
from shifting properly and could cause
the vehicle to roll, even if the
transmission is in gear.

WARNING:

Placing the transfer

case in its neutral position could cause
your vehicle to freely roll. Make sure you
press and hold the brake pedal and the
vehicle is in a secure, safe position when
you place the transfer case in its neutral
position.

Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational towing. An example of
recreational towing would be towing your
vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are to make sure that you do
not damage the transmission.

You can only tow your vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground by placing the
transfer case in its neutral position by
engaging the recreational tow feature.
Perform the following steps after
positioning your vehicle behind the tow
vehicle and properly securing them
together.

Note:

Put your climate control system in

recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle.

Note:

Failure to put the transfer case in its

neutral position can damage vehicle
components.

Note:

You can check the towing status at

any time by opening the driver door or
turning the ignition to the accessory or on
position.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.

2. Check the oil level before starting the

engine, or switch the engine off after
warming up and wait 10 minutes for
the oil to drain into the oil pan.

3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with

a clean, lint-free cloth.

4. Reinstall the dipstick and make sure it

is fully seated.

5. Remove the dipstick again to check the

oil level.

Note:

If the oil level is between the

maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable. Do not add oil.

6. If the oil level is at the minimum mark,

immediately add oil.

Reinstall the dipstick. Make sure it is
fully seated.

Note:

The oil consumption of new engines

reaches its normal level after approximately
3,000 mi (5,000 km).

ADDING ENGINE OIL

WARNING:

Do not remove the filler

cap when the engine is running.

WARNING:

Do not add engine oil

when the engine is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury.

Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that the
vehicle warranty may not cover.

Clean the area surrounding the engine
oil filler cap before you remove it.

2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.

3. Add engine oil that meets our

specifications. See

Capacities and

Specifications

(page 401).

4. Reinstall the engine oil filler cap. Turn

it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.

Note:

Do not add oil further than the

maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.

Note:

Immediately soak up any oil spillage

with an absorbent cloth.
