Shifting Procedures - Jeep Grand Cherokee 2020 Owner's Manual

198 STARTING AND OPERATING
4WD LOW
This range is for low speed four-wheel drive. It
provides an additional gear reduction which
allows for increased torque to be delivered to
both the front and rear wheels while providing
maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road
surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h).
NOTE:
Refer to "Selec-Terrain — If Equipped" for
further information on the various positions and
their intended usages.

Shifting Procedures

4WD HI To 4WD LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to
5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON position
or the engine running, shift the transmission
into "N", and push the "4WD LOW" button once
on the transfer case switch. The "4WD LOW"
indicator light in the instrument cluster will
begin to flash and remain on solid when the
shift is complete.

If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a
transfer case motor temperature protection
condition exists, a "For 4x4 Low Slow Below
3 mph (5 km/h) Put Trans in "N" Press 4 Low"
message will flash from the instrument cluster
display. Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" for

transmission into NEUTRAL, and push the "4WD
LOW" button once on the transfer case switch.
The "4WD LOW" indicator light in the instrument
cluster will flash and go out when the shift is
complete.


transfer case motor temperature protection
condition exists, a "For 4x4 High Slow Below
3 mph (5 km/h) Put Trans in NEUTRAL push
4 Low" message will flash from the instru-
ment cluster display. Refer to "Instrument
Cluster Display" in "Getting To Know Your

Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW 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 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h).
If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph
(5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow the
shift.
