Air Shift Control (Automatic
Transmission)
The rear axle shift control
switch for an automatic
transmission is located in
the instrument panel
switchbank.
Press the bottom of the switch to get to the low range.
The switch indicator light will come on when the
vehicle is in low range. Press the top of the switch to
return to the high range.
The two-speed axle should be in low range when you
park the vehicle. You’ll need to engage the transmission,
even moving the vehicle a little, to be sure the axle is
in low range. Then shift into PARK (P), apply the parking
brake and shut off the engine.
To shift up from low to high, press the top of the rear
axle shift control switch and press down on the
accelerator. When you shift the axle from high to low,
press the bottom of the switch, release the accelerator
and then quickly press it down again.
To operate off-road or under a heavy load, shift into low
range when the vehicle is standing still and then
operate the transmission normally.
On the highway, with the axle in low range and the
transmission in top gear, you may shift the axle to high
range by raising the switch and releasing the
accelerator momentarily. Reapply the accelerator after
you shift.
Under light load conditions, first shift the axle into the
high range with the vehicle at a standstill and then
operate the transmission normally.
