Driving and Operating

Shifting Out of Four-Wheel
Drive Low

To shift from Four-Wheel Drive Low
to Four-Wheel Drive High, AUTO,
or Two-Wheel Drive High, the
vehicle must be stopped or moving
less than 5 km/h (3 mph) with the
transmission in N (Neutral) and the
ignition in ON/RUN. The preferred
method for shifting out of
Four-Wheel Drive Low is to have
your vehicle moving 1.6 to 3.2 km/h
(1 to 2 mph). Turn the knob to the
Four-Wheel Drive High, AUTO,
or Two-Wheel Drive High position.
You must wait for the Four-Wheel
Drive High, AUTO, or Two-Wheel
Drive High indicator light to stop
flashing and remain on before
shifting the transmission into gear.

Notice:

Shifting the transmission

into gear before the Four-Wheel
Drive Low indicator light has
stopped flashing could damage
the transfer case. To help avoid

damaging the vehicle, always wait
for the Four-Wheel Drive Low
indicator light to stop flashing
before shifting the transmission
into gear.

The vehicle may have significant
engagement noise and bump when
shifting between Four-Wheel Drive
Low and Four-Wheel Drive High
ranges or from N (Neutral) while the
engine is running.

If the knob is turned to the
Four-Wheel Drive High, AUTO,
or Two-Wheel Drive High switch
position when the vehicle is in
gear and/or moving more than
1.6 to 3.2 km/h (1 to 2 mph), the
Four-Wheel Drive High, AUTO or
Two-Wheel Drive High indicator light
will flash for 30 seconds but will not
complete the shift. With the vehicle
moving less than 5 km/h (3 mph)
and the transmission is in
N (Neutral), attempt the shift again.

Shifting into Neutral

To shift the transfer case to
N (Neutral) do the following:

1. Make sure the vehicle is parked

so that it will not roll.

2. Set the parking brake and apply

the regular brake pedal. See

Parking Brake on page 9

‑

53

for

more information.

3. Start the vehicle or turn the

ignition to ON/RUN.

4. Put the transmission in

N (Neutral).

5. Shift the transfer case to

Two-Wheel Drive High.
