500 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
• If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a message will
flash from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)/Driver Information Display (DID) with instruc-
tions on how to complete the requested shift. Refer to
"Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Driver
Information Display (DID) in "Understanding Your In-
strument Panel" for further information.
• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the
vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may
occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being prop-
erly aligned. Several attempts may be required 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
You or others could be injured or killed 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 roll, even if the automatic transmission is in PARK
(or manual transmission is in gear). The parking
brake should always be applied when the driver is
not in the vehicle.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop and shift the
transmission to PARK.
2. Turn the engine OFF.
