Using The N (Neutral) Position; Using The Electronic Shift 4Wd System (If Equipped) - Ford F-150 2006 Owner's Manual

Driving
3. Place the transmission in N (Neutral).
4. Move the transfer case lever through N (Neutral) directly to the
desired position.
• If the transfer case will not engage into 4L (4WD Low), allow the
vehicle to coast at a speed below 3 mph (5 km/h), then repeat Steps 2
through 4.
Note: Some noise may be heard as the system shifts or engages; this is
normal.
Note: For proper operation in 4WD Low, ensure the transfer case shift
lever is moved entirely rearward in to the 4L (4WD Low) position and
that the 4x4 Low light is illuminated.
Note: Ideal 4L (4WD Low) conditions occur when the vehicle is rolling
below 3 mph (5 km/h).

Using the N (Neutral) position

The transfer case N (Neutral) position overrides the transmission
and puts the vehicle in neutral regardless of transmission
gearshift lever position. The vehicle can move forward or
backward.
This position should only be used when towing the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the
N (Neutral) position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn
off the ignition when leaving the vehicle.

Using the electronic shift 4WD system (if equipped)
