slipping.

Shifting from 4H (4x4 High) to 2H (2WD)

Move the transfer case lever to 2H
(2WD) at a stop or a vehicle speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h).
With the vehicle at complete stop,
disengage the locking hubs
(optional) by rotating the hub lock
control from LOCK to FREE.
• For proper operation, make
sure that both indicator arrows on the hub are aligned, and
that both hubs are set to FREE

Shifting from 4H (4x4 High) to 4L (4x4 Low)

1. Bring the vehicle to a stop or a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h).
2. Place the gearshift lever in N (Neutral). If the vehicle is equipped with
a manual transmission, also depress the clutch pedal.
3. Move the transfer case shift lever
through N (Neutral) directly to 4L
(4x4 Low).

partially moves to the 4L (4x4 Low)
position, perform a shift with the
transmission in N (Neutral) (or
clutch pedal depressed) and the
vehicle rolling at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h). This will ensure the
transfer case is fully engaged into 4L (4x4 Low).
