Off-Road Capabilities; Command-Trac®/Rock-Trac; Axle Lock (Tru-Lok®) Rubicon Only - Jeep Wrangler User Manual

COMMAND-TRAC®/ROCK-TRAC®
• The transfer case provides four mode
positions: 2H (Two-wheel drive high
range), 4H (Four-wheel drive high
range), N (Neutral), and 4L (Four-
wheel drive low range).
• The transfer case is intended to be
driven in the 2H position for normal
street and highway conditions such as
hard-surfaced roads.
• Shifting between 2H and 4H can be
made with the vehicle stopped or in
motion. Shift the transfer case lever
firmly to 4H at any speed up to 50 mph
(80 km/h).
• Shifting between 4H and 4L can be
made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic
transmission into NEUTRAL or fully depress the clutch pedal on a manual trans-
mission. Shift the transfer case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case
in NEUTRAL). Once the shift is completed, place the automatic transmission into
DRIVE or release the clutch pedal on a manual transmission.
NOTE:
To enhance off-road performance in 4L mode, manual transmission vehicles will start
regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is depressed.
