Shifting In or Out of Four-Wheel-Drive Low
Notice: Shifting the transfer case into
Four-Wheel-Drive Low while moving at
speeds faster than 3 mph (5 km/h) may
cause premature wear to the transfer case,
and may cause the gears to grind. To avoid
causing premature wear, and grinding the
gears, do not shift the transfer case into
Four-Wheel-Drive Low while the vehicle is
moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Shifting into Four-Wheel-Drive Low should be
done, if possible, with the vehicle at a slight roll,
3 mph (5 km/h) or less.

the shift.
