Electric shift system indicator lights

A 4WD indicator light and a 4WD LOW indicator light are
located in the instrument cluster. If either light flashes, take
your vehicle in for service.
Two-Wheel Drive mode — Neither the 4WD nor the 4WD
LOW lights are lit.
4WD High — Only the 4WD light is lit.
4WD LOW mode — Both the 4WD and 4WD LOW lights
are lit.

To shift from Two-Wheel Drive to 4WD High:

To shift into 4WD High rotate the 4WD switch located on the
instrument panel to 4x4 High. This shift can be done at a stop
or at speeds up to 55 miles per hour (88 km/h). When the
vehicle is driven, the automatic locking hubs will engage. If the
vehicle is stopped while in 4WD and the vehicle direction is
reversed from the previous direction, the automatic locking hubs
will momentarily disengage and reengage. The automatic
locking hubs may click as they automatically engage in the new
direction.
