STARTING AND OPERATING
to the desired position. Do not pause with the
transfer case in N (Neutral). Once the shift is
completed, place the transmission into DRIVE.
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
vehicle unless the transfer case is fully
engaged.

The Trac-Lok rear axle provides a constant
driving force to both rear wheels and reduces
wheel spin caused by the loss of traction at one
driving wheel. If traction differs between the two
rear wheels, the differential automatically
proportions the usable torque by providing
more torque to the wheel that has traction.
Trac-Lok is especially helpful during slippery
driving conditions. With both rear wheels on a
slippery surface, a slight application of the
accelerator will supply maximum traction.
WARNING!
On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip
differential, never run the engine with one
rear wheel off the ground. The vehicle may
drive through the rear wheel remaining on the
ground and cause you to lose control of your
vehicle.
