This electronically shifted transfer case is designed
to be driven in the two-wheel drive position
(two-wheel drive) for normal street and highway
conditions on dry, hard surfaced roads.
When additional traction is required, the transfer
case 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW positions can be
used to maximize torque to the front driveshaft,
forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. This is accomplished by rotating the
four-wheel drive Control Switch to the desired
position.

The 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW positions are
designed for loose, slippery road surfaces only.
Driving in the 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW positions
on dry hard surfaced roads may cause increased
tire wear and damage to the driveline components.
NOTE:
The transfer case NEUTRAL button is located on
the lower left hand corner of the 4WD Control
Switch. The transfer case NEUTRAL position is to
be used for recreational towing only

will do the following:
If All Of The Following Shift Conditions Are Met:
1. The current position indicator light will turn
OFF.
2. The selected position indicator light will flash
until the transfer case completes the shift.

for the selected position will stop flashing and
remain ON.
If One Or More Of The Following Shift Conditions
Are Not Met:
1. The indicator light for the current position will
remain ON.
2. The newly selected position indicator light will

The SERV 4WD Warning Light monitors the
electronic shift four-wheel drive system. If this light
remains on after engine start-up or illuminates
during driving, it means that the four-wheel drive
system is not functioning properly and that service
is required.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you
leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer
case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully
engaging the parking brake. The transfer case N
(Neutral) 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.
