Neutral Flat Tow

NOTE: 2WD vehicles and 4WD vehicles equipped with 1 speed Torque on Demand transfer cases 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 the 2 Speed Torque on Demand 4WD system have neutral flat tow software in the TCCM. 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 motor home).
