Use the transfer shift lever to shift from
4×2 to 4×4, and vice versa.
The transfer shift lever has four positions:
2H (4×2)
In this position, only the rear wheels are
powered. Use this position for normal
driving on paved surfaces.
4H (4×4, high range)
In this position, all four wheels are
powered. Use this position for normal
driving on sandy, muddy, or slippery
surfaces.
N (Neutral)
No wheels are powered.
WARNING
Shift the transfer shift lever to a
position except N when the vehicle is
parked:
Leaving the transfer shift lever in
neutral while parked is dangerous. If
the transfer shift lever is in neutral, all
wheels can roll freely. The vehicle
could roll even when the transmission
shift lever is in 1 or R. This could
cause a serious accident.
