HIFTING ROCEDURE
NOTE:
If any of the requirements to select a new

transfer case position have not been met, the
transfer case will not shift. The position indi-
cator light for the previous position will remain
on and the newly selected position indicator
light will continue to flash until all the require-
ments for the selected position have been
met. To retry a shift: return the control switch
back to the original position, make certain
all shift requirements have been met, wait
five seconds and try the shift again.
If all the requirements to select a new

transfer case position have been met, the
current position indicator light will turn off,
the selected position indicator light will flash
until the transfer case completes the shift.
When the shift is complete, the position indi-
cator light for the selected position will stop
flashing and remain on.
AWD Auto To AWD Low
NOTE:
When shifting into or out of AWD LOW some gear
noise may be heard. This noise is normal and is
not detrimental to the vehicle or occupants.
Shifting can be performed with the vehicle
rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) or completely
stopped. Use either of the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure
1. With the engine running, slow the vehicle
to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
3. While still rolling, push the AWD LOW control
switch.
4. After the AWD LOW position indicator light is
on (not flashing), shift the transmission
back into gear.
Alternate Procedure
1. Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
2. With the ignition in ON/RUN position and
engine running, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
STARTING AND OPERATING
3. Push the AWD LOW control switch.
4. After the AWD LOW position indicator light is
on (not flashing), shift the transmission
back into gear.
NOTE:
If steps 1 or 2 of either the "Preferred" or

"Alternate Procedure" are not satisfied prior
to attempting the shift or if they no longer are
being met while the shift attempt is in
process, the desired position indicator light
will flash continuously while the original posi-
tion indicator light is on, until all require-
ments have been met.
The ignition switch 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 switch is not in the ON/RUN position,
then the shift will not take place and no posi-
tion indicator lights will be on or flashing.
