4. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, push and hold the recessed transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for four seconds. The light
behind the N symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blinking
(stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A "FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL" message will appear in the Driver Information Display (DID).
Refer to "Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel"
for further information.
5. After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL (N) light stays on, release the
NEUTRAL (N) button.
6. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
7. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
8. Shift the transmission back into NEUTRAL.
9. Firmly apply the parking brake.
10. With the transmission and transfer case in NEUTRAL, push and hold the ENGINE
START/STOP button until the engine turns off. Turning the engine off will automati-
cally place the transmission in PARK.
11. Push the ENGINE STOP/START button again (without pressing the brake pedal), if
needed, to turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
Damage to the transmission may occur if the transmission is shifted into PARK with the
transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) and the engine running. With the transfer case in
NEUTRAL (N) ensure that the engine is OFF before shifting the transmission into
PARK.
12. Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar.
13. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 3 are requirements that must be met before pressing the NEUTRAL
(N) button, and must continue to be met until the shift has been completed. If any of
these requirements are not met before pushing the NEUTRAL (N) button or are no
longer met during the shift, the NEUTRAL (N) indicator light will flash continuously
until all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL (N) button is released.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for a shift to take place and for the
position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the ON/RUN
position, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or
flashing.
• A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light indicates that shift requirements have
not been met.
