Shifting Out of Four-Wheel Low
To shift from Four-Wheel Low to Four-Wheel High or
Two-Wheel High, the vehicle must be stopped or moving
less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with the transmission in
N (Neutral) with the engine running. The preferred
method for shifting out of Four-Wheel Low is to have
the vehicle moving 1 or 2 mph (1.6 to 3.2 km/h).
Turn the knob to Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel High.
You must wait for the Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel
High indicator light to stop flashing and remain on before
shifting the transmission into gear.
Notice: Shifting the transmission into gear before
the Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel High indicator
light has stopped flashing could damage the transfer
case. To help avoid damaging the vehicle, always
wait for the Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel High
indicator light to stop flashing before shifting
the transmission into gear.
If the knob is turned to Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel
High while the vehicle is in gear and/or moving, the
Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel high indicator light
flashes for 30 seconds. It will not complete the shift
unless the vehicle is moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h)
with the transmission in N (Neutral).
