Shifting the transfer case to Neutral can cause
the vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in

even if you are in gear. You or someone else
could be seriously injured. Be sure to set the
parking brake before placing the transfer case in
Neutral. See
Parking Brake on page 3 ‑ 33 .
N (Neutral): Shift the vehicle's transfer case to
N (Neutral) only when towing the vehicle.
4
m

axle to help drive the vehicle. Use four-wheel high when
you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads,
or in most off-road situations.

n
(Four-Wheel Low): This setting also engages
the front axle to give you extra traction. It sends the
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose
four-wheel low if you were driving off-road in sand, mud,
or deep snow and while climbing or descending steep
hills.

selected setting. If the lights do not come on, you
should take the vehicle in for service. An indicator light
will flash while shifting. It will stay on when the shift is
completed.
If the transfer case does not shift, it will return to the last
chosen setting.
