Caution

before the requested mode
indicator light has stopped
flashing could damage the
transfer case.
If the transmission is in gear and/or
moving more than 5 km/h (3 mph),
the 4 , AUTO, or 2 indicator light
will flash for 30 seconds but will not
complete the shift. With the vehicle

N (Neutral) light will come on
when the transfer case shift to
