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 lights do 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 headlamp switch to dim your transfer case
indicator light when your headlamps or parking lamps
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.

your vehicle. Use 4HI when you need extra traction,
such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most off-road
situations.

to
be towed.

the vehicle is moving. Do not press the transfer case

NEUTRAL (N).
