Four-Position/On-Demand Transfer Case
This electronically shifted transfer case
provides four mode positions:
Two-Wheel Drive High Range (2WD)
Four-Wheel Drive High Range (4WD
HIGH)
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range (4WD LOW)
Neutral (NEUTRAL)
For additional information on the appropriate
use of each transfer case mode position, see
the information below:
2WD
Rear Wheel Drive High Range — This range
is for normal street and highway driving on
dry, hard surfaced roads.
4WD HIGH
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range
maximizes torque to the front driveshaft,
forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed. This range provides addi
-
tional traction for loose, slippery road
surfaces only.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range
provides low speed four-wheel drive. It maxi
-
mizes torque to the front driveshaft, forcing
the front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. This range provides additional
traction and maximum pulling power for
loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do not
exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NEUTRAL (N)
Neutral — This range disengages both the
front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain.
To be used for flat towing behind another
vehicle. Refer to “Recreational Towing” in
this section for further information.
This electronically shifted transfer case is
designed to be driven in the two-wheel drive
position (2WD) 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 4WD Control
Switch to the desired position.
Refer to “Shifting Procedure” in the
“Starting And Operating” section of your
Owner’s Manual for specific shifting instruc
-
tions.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if
you leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the NEUTRAL position
without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case 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.
