NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 6 are requirements for shifting the
transfer case. If these requirements are not met prior to

the shift attempt is in process, then all of the mode
position indicator lights will flash continuously until
all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL button
is released.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON position for a
shift to take place and for the position indicator lights
to be operable. If the ignition switch in not in the ON
position, the shift will not take place and no position
indicator lights will be on or flashing.
• Flashing NEUTRAL position indicator light indicates
that shift requirements have not been met.
