Shifting Procedure — Manually Shifted
Transfer Case
2H To 4H
Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with
the vehicle stopped or in motion. If the vehicle is
in motion, shifts can be made up to 55 mph
(88 km/h). With the vehicle in motion, the trans-
fer case will engage/disengage faster if you
momentarily release the accelerator pedal after
completing the shift. Apply a constant force
when shifting the transfer case lever.
2H Or 4H To 4L
With the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h), shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
While the vehicle is coasting at 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h), shift the transfer case lever firmly to the
desired position. Do not pause in transfer case
NEUTRAL.
NOTE:
•
Pausing in transfer case NEUTRAL in ve-
hicles equipped with an automatic trans-
mission may require shutting the engine
OFF to avoid gear clash while completing
the shift. If difficulty occurs, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL, hold foot on
brake, and turn the engine OFF. Make shift
to the desired mode.
•
Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with
the vehicle completely stopped, however
difficulty may occur due to the mating
clutch teeth not being properly aligned.
Several attempts may be required for
clutch teeth alignment and shift comple-
tion to occur. The preferred method is
with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h). Avoid attempting to engage or
disengage 4L with the vehicle moving
faster than 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
•
Do not attempt to shift into or from 4L
while the transmission is in gear.
Transfer Case Position Indicator Light
The “Transfer Case Position Indicator Light” in

wheels are driving.
