Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds which can
cause cancer and reproductive

charger.
All-Wheel Drive
Transfer Case
If the vehicle is equipped with
All-Wheel Drive, be sure to perform
the lubricant checks described in
this section.
When to Check Lubricant
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance on
page 11 ‑ 1 to determine how often to
check the lubricant.
How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the
vehicle should be on a level
surface.
A. Drain Plug
B. Fill Plug
If the level is below the bottom of
the fill plug hole, located on the
transfer case, some lubricant will
need to be added. Add enough
lubricant to raise the level to the
bottom of the fill plug hole. Use care
not to over-tighten the plug.
