STARTING AND OPERATING
2WD OR 4WD AUTO 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.
Shifting can be performed with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3
mph (3 to 5 km/h) or completely stopped. You can use
either of the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure
1.
With the engine running, slow the vehicle to 2 to 3
mph (3 to 5 km/h).
2.
Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
3.
While still rolling, push the desired position on the
transfer case control switch.
4.
After the desired position indicator light is on (not
flashing), shift the transmission back into gear.
Alternate Procedure
1.
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2.
With the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position
and the engine running, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
3.
Push the desired position on the transfer case
control switch.
4.
After the desired position indicator light is on (not
flashing), shift the transmission back into gear.
NOTE:
If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred or Alternate
Procedure are not satisfied prior to attempting
the shift, then the desired position indicator light
will flash continuously while the original position
indicator light is on, until all requirements have been
met.
The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position
for a shift to take place and for the position indicator
lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in
the ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place
and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing.
