To unlock the hubs:
1. Stop your vehicle.
2. Drive seven feet (two meters) in the
direction opposite to the direction
you were driving before you stopped.
3.
Then, press the clutch if you have a
manual transmission, and shift the
transfer case to
2H.
The hubs will
unlock.
Transfer Case
The transfer case shift lever is on the
floor to the right of the driver. Use this
lever to shift into and out of four-wheel
drive. An indicator light comes on when
the transfer case is in
4 H
or
4L.
2H:
This setting is for driving in most
street and highway situations. Your front
axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4H:
This setting engages your front axle
to help drive your vehicle. Use
4H
when you need extra traction, such as
on wet or icy roads, or in most off-road
situations.
N
(Neutral): Shift to this setting only
when your vehicle needs
to
be towed.
4L:
This setting also engages your front
axle to give you extra traction, but
should be used only for driving downhill
or on slippery surfaces when you're
driving slower than 35 mph
(55 km/h).
Remember that driving in
4H
or
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.
You can shift from
2H
to
4 H
or from
4H
to
2 H
at any speed if your hubs are
locked and your wheels are straight
ahead. Your front axle will engage
faster if you take your foot off the
accelerator pedal for a few seconds as
you shift.
