1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on level ground,
with the engine running. Firmly apply the parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal.
4. Shift the transfer case into N (Neutral):
○
With manual shift transfer case, shift the trans-
fer case lever into N (Neutral).
○
With electronically shifted transfer case, push and
hold the transfer case N (Neutral) button. Some
models have a small, recessed "N" button (at the
center of the transfer case switches) that must be
pressed using a ballpoint pen or similar object.
Other models have a rectangular N (Neutral)
switch, below the rotary transfer case control knob.
The N (Neutral) indicator light will blink while the
shift is in progress. The light will stop blinking (stay
on solid) when the shift to N (Neutral) is complete.
After the shift is completed and the N (Neutral)
light stays on, release the N (Neutral) button.
5. Release the parking brake.
6. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
7. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and
ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 with automatic transmission
in DRIVE.
9. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL. Firmly apply the
parking brake. Turn off the engine. For vehicles with
Keyless Enter ‘n Go™, push and hold the ENGINE
START/STOP button until the engine shuts off.
10. Shift the transmission into PARK.
11. Place the ignition in the OFF position, and remove
the key fob.
12. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suit-
able tow bar.
13. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
With electronically shifted transfer case:
•
Steps 2 through 3 are requirements that must be
met before pushing the N (Neutral) button, and
must continue to be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements are not met
before pushing the N (Neutral) button or are no lon-
ger met during the shift, the N (Neutral) indicator
light will flash continuously until all requirements
are met or until the N (Neutral) button is released.
•
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position for a
shift to take place and for the position indicator
lights to be operable. If the ignition is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place and
no position indicator lights will be on or flashing.
•
A flashing N (Neutral) position indicator light indi-
cates that shift requirements have not been met.
Shifting Out Of N (Neutral)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for
normal usage:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, leaving it con-
nected to the tow vehicle.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal.
4. Start the engine, and shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
○
With manual shift transfer case, shift the trans-
fer case lever to the desired position.
○
With electronically shifted transfer case with
rotary selector switch, push and hold the trans-
fer case N (Neutral) button until the N (Neutral)
indicator light turns off. After the N (Neutral)
indicator light turns off, release the N (Neutral)
button. After the N (Neutral) button has been
released, the transfer case will shift to the posi-
tion indicated by the selector switch.
○
With electronically shifted transfer case with
push button selector switch, push and hold the
switch for the desired transfer case position,
until the N (Neutral) indicator light turns off and
the desired position indicator light turns on.
NOTE:
When shifting the transfer case out of N (Neutral),
turning the engine off is not required, but may be
helpful to avoid gear clash. With 8-speed automatic
transmission, the engine must remain running,
since turning the engine off will shift the transmis-
sion to PARK (and the transmission must be in NEU-
TRAL for the transfer case to shift out of NEUTRAL).
5. Turn the engine off. Shift automatic transmission
into PARK. On 8-speed transmissions the shifter will
automatically select PARK when the engine is
turned off.
6. Release the brake pedal.
7. Disconnect vehicle from the tow vehicle.
8. Start the engine.
9. Press and hold the brake pedal.
10. Release the parking brake.
11. Shift the transmission into gear, release the brake
pedal, and check that the vehicle operates
normally.
