the transfer case control switch.
4. After the desired position indicator light is on
(not flashing), shift the transmission back into
gear.
Alternate Procedure
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position and the engine running, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL.
3. Push the desired position on the transfer case
control switch.
4. After the desired position indicator light is on
(not flashing), shift the transmission back into
gear.
NOTE:

If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred or Alter
-
nate Procedure are not satisfied prior to
attempting the shift, then the desired position
indicator light will flash continuously while the
original position indicator light is on, until all

The electronic shift transfer case is operated by
the 4WD Control Switch (Transfer Case Switch),
which is located on the instrument panel.
Four-Position/Part-Time Transfer Case
This electronically shifted transfer case provides
four positions:

Two-Wheel Drive High Range (2WD)

Four-Wheel Drive High Range (4WD HIGH)

Four-Wheel Drive Low Range (4WD LOW)

N (NEUTRAL)
For additional information on the appropriate use
of each transfer case position, see the information
below:
2WD
Two-Wheel Drive High Range — This range is for
normal street and highway driving on dry, hard
surfaced roads.
4WD HIGH
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range
maximizes torque to the front driveshaft, forcing
the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same
speed. This range provides additional traction for
loose, slippery road surfaces only.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides
low speed four-wheel drive. It maximizes torque to
the front wheels, forcing the front and rear wheels
to rotate at the same speed. This range provides
additional traction and maximum pulling power for
loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h).
