NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you
leave the vehicle unattended with the power
transfer unit in the NEUTRAL (N) position
without first fully engaging the parking brake.
The NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both
the front and rear driveshafts from the pow-
ertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll, even
if the automatic transmission is in PARK (or
manual transmission is in gear). The parking
brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop on level
ground and shift the transmission to PARK.
2. Turn the engine OFF.
3. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN mode, but
do not start the engine.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal.
5. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
6. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, push
and hold the recessed power transfer unit
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector
switch) for four seconds. The light behind the
NEUTRAL (N) symbol will blink, indicating
shift in progress. The light will stop blinking
(stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL
(N) is complete.
