shift to take place. Shifting while only the front or rear
wheels are spinning can cause damage to the transfer
case.
Proper operation of four-wheel-drive vehicles depends
on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each

transfer case.
Because four-wheel-drive provides improved traction,
there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping
speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit.
For additional information on the appropriate use of each
transfer case mode position see the following informa-
