If you have four-wheel drive, your vehicle

is in PARK (P) — if your transfer case is in
NEUTRAL. So, be sure the transfer case is in a
drive gear, two-wheel high (2H) or four-wheel
high (4H) or four-wheel low (4L) — not in
NEUTRAL. See Shifting Into Park (P)
(Automatic Transmission) on page 2-50.
REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up. If your vehicle
is equipped with the Allison Transmission
blink on the PRNDL if the shift inhibitor is active.
Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle
is moving forward could damage the transmission.
The repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is
stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice
or sand without damaging your transmission, see If You
Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-48.
NEUTRAL (N): In this position, your engine does not
connect with the wheels. To restart when you are
already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use
NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.
