There is an apparant conflict in the Owner's Manual about Flat Towing.

On page 2-19, paragraph (B) of the 2008 manual it says to leave the key in the ACC/ACCESORIES position "if your vehicle must be pushed or towed." But on page 4-49, item (8) says for flat towing to turn the ignition off.

Leaving the key in drains the battery and the LOCK/OFF position locks the stearing, that's unless when you set the transfer case to NEUTRAL it also disables the stearing lock.

Which one is it: "ACC/ACCESORIES" or "LOCK/OFF"

I have drug mine about 10,000 mile around the country with the key off and in my pocket. I hope I haven't been dragging my tires sideways in the corners as well as straining the stearing lock.

 

I flat tow our H3 all over, and I take the key out as well. Never had a problem.

 

my brother showed me the procedure last week when he hooked his up to leave from visiting me. and he took the key out and put it in his pocket when he finished.

here's his towing setup...
