The front axle portion of the diagram on the indicator will light up when
you shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the
pattern's lighting is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or if the front
axle does not go out after you shift out
of four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the INT LIGHTS switch located to the
right of your headlight switch to dim your transfer case indicator light when
your headlights or parking lights are on. This will also cause your
instrument panel lights to dim.
2HI: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations. Your
front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use
4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most
off-road situations.
N SET PARK BRAKE: Shift to this neutral setting only when your vehicle
needs to be towed.
4LO: This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction.
You may never need 4LO. It sends the maximum power to all four wheels.
You might choose 4LO if you were driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep
snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
You can shift from 2HI to 4HI or from 4HI to 2HI while the vehicle is
moving. It is not necessary for you to press the transfer case shift
lever
button. Your front axle will engage faster if you take your foot off of the
accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift your transfer case into N SET PARK BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into "N" (Neutral).
2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are
applied.
To shift into or out of 4LO
:
1. The vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (4.8 W h )
with the transmission in
" N '
(Neutral)
or
the clutch pedal depressed.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in
one continuous motion.
Don't pause in N SET PARK BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4L0, or
your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4HI or 4LO may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in four-wheel drive on dry pavement could cause your tires to wear
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift.
