NOTE:
• The first two steps are requirements
that must be met prior to depressing
the NEUTRAL button, and must
continue to be met until the four
seconds elapse and the shift has
been completed. If any of these
requirements (with the exception of
Key ON) are not met prior to
depressing the NEUTRAL button or
are no longer met during the four
second timer, then the NEUTRAL
indicator light will flash continuously
until all requirements are met or until
the NEUTRAL button is released.
• The flashing NEUTRAL indicator light
indicates that shift requirements have
not been met.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the
DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these
requirements can cause severe
damage to the transmission
and/or transfer case.
