position. Do not pause with the transfer case in
N (Neutral). Once the shift is completed, place
the automatic transmission into DRIVE or
release the clutch pedal on a manual
transmission.
NOTE:
Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the
vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty
may occur due to the mating teeth not being
properly aligned. Several attempts may be
required for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred method is
with the vehicle rolling at 1 to 3 mph (2 to
5 km/h). Avoid attempting to engage or disen-
gage 4L with the vehicle moving faster than 1 to
3 mph (2 to 5 km/h).
WARNING!
Failure to engage a transfer case position
completely can cause transfer case damage
or loss of power and vehicle control. You
could have a collision. Do not drive the vehi-
cle unless the transfer case is fully engaged.
