for specific shifting instructions. The 4WD
LOCK and 4WD LOW positions are designed
for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Driving in
the 4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW positions on dry

The transfer case NEUTRAL position is se-
lected by depressing the recessed button
(with a ballpoint pen or similar object) lo-

Transfer Case Position Indicator Lights
The Transfer Case Position Indicator Lights
(4WD, 4LOW, and 4WD AUTO) are located in
the instrument cluster and indicate the current
and desired transfer case selection. When you
select a different transfer case position, the
indicator lights will do the following:
If All 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.
3. When the shift is complete, the indicator light
for the selected position will stop flashing
and remain ON.
If One Or More Shift Conditions Are Not Met:
1. The indicator light for the current position will
remain ON.
2. The newly selected position indicator light
will continue to flash.
3. The transfer case will not shift.
NOTE:
Before retrying a selection, make certain
that all the necessary requirements for se-
lecting a new transfer case position have
been met. To retry the selection, turn the
control knob back to the current position,
wait five seconds, and retry selection. To
find the shift requirements, refer to the

The “SVC 4WD Warning Light” monitors the
electronic shift four-wheel drive system. If this
light remains on after engine start up or illumi-
nates during driving, it means that the four-
wheel drive system is not functioning properly
and that service is required.
WARNING!
Always engage the parking brake when pow-
ering down the vehicle if the “SVC 4WD Warn-
ing Light” is illuminated. Not engaging the
parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll
which may cause personal injury or death.
