Neutral Flat Tow

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: 2WD vehicles cannot be towed with any wheels on the ground as vehicle or transmission damage may occur.
NOTE: Failing to put the transfer case into the NEUTRAL position damages vehicle components.

Vehicles equipped with a 4WD system have neutral flat tow software in the TCCM. Following the neutral flat tow activation procedure commands the transfer case shift motor into a neutral position. Locking the transfer case in neutral prevents damage to the transmission while towing a 4WD vehicle on all 4 wheels (such as when being towed behind a motorhome).
