Shift Positions
For additional information on the appropriate use
of each transfer case mode position, see the
information below:
4 ALL TIME
Normal All Wheel Drive High Range — All roads
surfaces such as ice, snow, gravel, sand, and dry
hard pavement.
N (Neutral)
Neutral — Disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain. To be used for flat
towing behind another vehicle.
4LO
Four Wheel Drive Low Range — Low speed 4
wheel drive. Locks the front and rear driveshafts
together. Forces the front and rear wheels to rotate
at the same speed. Additional traction and maxi-
mum pulling power for loose, slippery road sur-
faces only. Do not exceed 40 km/h (25 mph).
Shifting Procedure
4 ALL TIME to 4 LO or 4 LO to 4 ALL TIME
(Gasoline Models Only)
With the vehicle rolling at 3 to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph),
shift the transmission into N (Neutral). While the
vehicle is coasting at 3 to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph), shift
the transfer case lever firmly into the desired
position. Do not pause in transfer case N (Neu-
tral).
NOTE:
Pausing in transfer case N (Neutral) in vehicles
equipped with an automatic transmission may
require shutting the engine OFF to avoid gear
clash while completing the shift. If difficulty
occurs, shift the transmission into N (Neutral),
hold foot on brake, and turn the engine OFF.
Make shift to desired mode.
NOTE:
Shifting into or out of 4LO is possible with the
vehicle completely stopped, however difficulty
may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not
being properly aligned. Several attempts may
be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred method is
with the vehicle rolling 3 to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph).
Avoid attempting to engage or disengage 4LO
with the vehicle moving faster than 3 to 5 km/h
(2 to 3 mph).
4 ALL TIME to 4 LO or 4 LO to 4 ALL TIME
(Diesel Models Only)
1. Slow the vehicle to 3 to 5 km/h (2 to 3 mph).
2. Shift transmission into N (Neutral).
3. Shift transfer case into 4LO or ALL TIME as
desired (do not hesitate in Neutral).
4. Bring vehicle to a "Full Stop."
5. Shift transmission into D (Drive) or R (Reverse)
as desired.
Quadra-Drive System — If Equipped

torque transfer couplings. The couplings include
Vari-Lok front and rear axles and Quadra-Trac II
transfer case. While the transfer case and axle
couplings differ in design, their operation is simi-
