Transfer Case

®
• The Selec-Trac II
transfer case provides four positions:
• Two-wheel drive (2WD) high range
• Four-wheel drive Auto (4WD AUTO)
high range
• NEUTRAL (N)
• Four-wheel drive (4WD) low range
• This transfer case is intended to be
driven in either the two-wheel drive
position (2WD) or the four-wheel drive
Auto position (4WD AUTO) for normal
street and highway conditions such as
dry, hard-surfaced roads.
• For added capability when traversing
steep grades, rough terrain, or
extremely poor traction surfaces, select
the transfer case 4WD LOW position.
This position locks the front driveshaft
and rear driveshaft together and forces
the front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed while multiplying
engine torque.
• When operating in 4WD LOW, the
engine speed is approximately three
times that of the 4WD LOCK position at
a given road speed. Take care not to
over-speed the engine and do not
exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
• Use the transfer case NEUTRAL
position for recreational towing only.

2WD To 4WD AUTO
• Move transfer case lever to the desired
position.
• Shifts between 2WD and 4WD AUTO
can be done with the vehicle stopped or
in motion. With the vehicle in motion,
the transfer case will engage/
disengage faster if you momentarily
release the accelerator pedal after
moving the transfer case lever.
• If the vehicle is stopped, the key must
be in the ON/RUN position.
• Shifts can not be completed if the key is
in the ACC position.
4WD AUTO To 4WD LOW
• With the engine running, slow the
vehicle speed to 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h) and shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• While still rolling, move the transfer
case lever to the 4WD LOW position.
• After the indicator light is ON (not
flashing) shift the transmission into
gear.
• If the indicator light in the instrument
cluster is flashing, the shift did not
occur and the current transfer case
position will be maintained.
