your vehicle needs to be towed or when using a

power take
off.

front axle to give you extra power and also gives you a
higher driveline ratio. It should be used only for
-
off
road driving.

You can shift from 2

High (4H) or from 4
Wheel High (4H) to 2

To shift into or out of 4
Wheel Low (4L) or
NEUTRAL (N):
1. Slow the vehicle to a roll, about 1 to 3 mph
(2 to 5 km/h) and shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Shift the transfer case shift lever in one
continuous motion.
Don't pause in NEUTRAL (N) as you shift the transfer
-
case into 4
Wheel Low (4L), or your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4

4
Wheel Low (4L) may reduce fuel economy. Also,
-
driving in four
wheel drive on dry pavement could
cause your tires to wear faster and make your transfer
case harder to shift and run noisier.
When your headlamps or parking lamps are on, rotate the
thumbwheel next to the headlamp switch up to brighten or
down to dim your transfer case indicator light.
