TWO
WHEEL HIGH (2H): This setting is for driving
in most street and highway situations. Your front axle is
-
not engaged in two
wheel drive.
-
FOUR
WHEEL HIGH (4H): This setting
engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
-
Use FOUR
WHEEL HIGH (4H) when you need
extra traction, such as on wet or icy roads, or in most
-
off
road situations.
NEUTRAL (N): Shift to this setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission
is in PARK (P), or if you have a manual
transmission, even if you are in gear. You or
someone else could be seriously injured. Be sure
to set the parking brake before placing the
transfer case in NEUTRAL. See "Parking Brake"
in the Index.
-
FOUR
WHEEL LOW (4L): This setting also engages
your front axle to give you extra traction and can be
used for driving downhill, uphill or on rocky terrain
when you're driving slower than 35 mph (55 km/h).
Remember that driving in FOUR
-
or FOUR
WHEEL LOW (4L) may reduce fuel
economy. Also, driving in four
pavement could cause your tires to wear faster and make
your transfer case harder to shift.
-
You can shift from TWO
-
FOUR
WHEEL HIGH (4H) or from FOUR
-
HIGH (4H) to TWO
WHEEL HIGH (2H) at any speed
if your vehicle is going less than 60 mph (100 km/h) 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.
Shifting Into or Out of FOUR
1. Stop your vehicle and shift your transmission
to NEUTRAL (N).
2. Shift the transfer case in one continuous motion.
Don't pause in NEUTRAL (N) as you shift from

FOUR
WHEEL
LOW (4L) to FOUR
HIGH (4H), or your gears could clash.
