Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you
leave the vehicle unattended with the power
transfer unit in the NEUTRAL (N) position
without first fully engaging the parking brake.
The NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both
the front and rear drive shafts from the
powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll,
even if the transmission is in PARK. The
parking brake should always be applied
when the driver is not in the vehicle.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the
engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air
suspension, ensure the vehicle is set to
Normal Ride Height.
5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, push
and hold the recessed transfer case NEU-
TRAL (N) button (located by the selector
switch) for four seconds. The light behind the
NEUTRAL (N) symbol will blink, indicating
shift in progress. The light will stop blinking
(stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL
(N) is complete. A “NEUTRAL” message will
appear in the Driver Information Display
(DID). Refer to “Driver Information Display
(DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
6. After the shift is completed and the NEU-
TRAL (N) light stays on, release the NEU-
TRAL (N) button.
7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
8. Release the brake pedal for five seconds
and ensure that there is no vehicle move-
ment.
NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a
“To Tow Vehicle Safely, Read Neutral Shift
Procedure in Owners Manual” message will
flash from the Driver Information Display
(DID). Refer to “Driver Information Display
(DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
