and rear wheels to spin at the same speed.
This provides additional traction for loose
and/or slippery road surfaces.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range
provides
low speed four-wheel drive. It maxi-
mizes torque (increased torque over 4WD
H
IGH) to
the front driveshaft; allowing front
and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
This range provides additional traction and
maximum pulling power for loose, slippery
road surfaces only. Do not exceed 25
mph
(40 km/h)
in this range.
NEUTRAL (N)
Neutral — This range disengages both the
f
ront and
rear driveshafts from the power-
train. To be used for flat towing behind
a
nother v
ehicle. Refer to “Recreational

WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if
you leave the vehicle unattended with
the transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N)
position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both
the front and rear drive shaft from the
powertrain, and will allow the vehicle to
roll, even if the transmission is in PARK.
The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the
vehicle.
The transmission may not engage PARK
if the vehicle is moving. Always bring the
vehicle to a complete stop before
shifting to PARK, and verify that the
transmission gear position indicator
solidly indicates PARK (P) without
blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is
completely stopped, and the PARK posi
-
tion is properly indicated, before exiting
