5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON position or

NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met a
message will flash from the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC) with instruc-
tions on how to complete the requested
shift. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)" in "Understanding Your
Instrument Panel" for further information.
Shifting Out Of 4WD LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to
5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON position or
the engine running, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL, and press the "4WD LOW" button
once. The "4WD LOW" indicator light in the
instrument cluster will flash and go out when the
shift is complete.
NOTE:
• If shift conditions/interlocks are not met,
a message will flash from the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) with
instructions on how to complete the re-
quested shift. Refer to "Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)" in "Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel" for fur-
ther information.
• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is pos-
sible with the vehicle completely stopped;
however, difficulty may occur due to the
mating clutch teeth not being properly
aligned. Several attempts may be re-
quired for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred
method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to
3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is
moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the
4WD system will not allow the shift.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the
vehicle unattended with the power transfer unit
in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully
engaging the parking brake. The NEUTRAL (N)
position disengages both the front and rear
drive shafts from the powertrain and will allow
the vehicle to move regardless of the transmis-
sion position. The parking brake should always
be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
