Shifting Procedure
NOTE:
If any of the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have not been met, the
transfer case will not shift. The position indi-
cator light for the previous position will
remain on and the newly selected position
indicator light will continue to flash until all
the requirements for the selected position
have been met.
If all the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have been met, the
current position indicator light will turn off,
the selected position indicator light will flash
until the transfer case completes the shift.
When the shift is complete, the position indi-
cator light for the selected position will stop
flashing and remain on.
2WD To 4WD LOCK
Push the desired position on the 4WD control
switch to shift the transfer case. Shifts between
2WD and 4WD LOCK can be done with the
vehicle stopped or in motion. With the vehicle in
motion, the transfer case will engage/
disengage faster if you momentarily release the
accelerator pedal after selecting the desired
position on the control switch. If the vehicle is
stopped, the ignition must be in the ON position
with the engine either running or off. This shift
cannot be completed if the ignition switch is in
the ACC position.
NOTE:
The four-wheel drive system will not allow shifts
between 2WD/4WD LOCK if the front and/or
rear wheels are spinning (no traction). In this
situation, the selected position indicator light
will flash and the original position indicator light
will remain ON. At this time, reduce speed and
stop spinning the wheels to complete the shift.
STARTING AND OPERATING
2WD Or 4WD LOCK To 4WD LOW
NOTE:
When shifting into or out of 4WD LOW some
gear noise may be heard. This noise is
normal and is not detrimental to the vehicle
or occupants.
When shifting into 4WD LOW press and hold
the button until the indicator light starts
blinking.
Shifting can be performed with the vehicle
rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) or completely
stopped. Use either of the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure
