STARTING AND OPERATING 331
For additional information on the appropriate use of each
transfer case mode position, see the information below:
2H
Rear Wheel Drive High Range — This range is for normal
s
treet
and highway driving on dry, hard surfaced roads.
4H
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range maximizes
torque
to the front driveshaft, forcing the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed. This range provides addi
-
tional traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only.
NEUTRAL (N)
Neutral — This range disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain. To be used for flat towing
behind another vehicle.
Refer to “Recreational Towing” in “Starting And Operating”
for fur
ther information.
4L
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides low
s
peed f
our-wheel drive. It maximizes torque to the front
driveshaft, forcing the 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).
The transfer case is intended to be driven in the 2H position
for nor
mal street and highway conditions, such as
hard-surfaced roads.
In the event that additional traction is required, the transfer
case 4H
and 4L positions can be used to lock the front and
rear driveshafts together, forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. The 4H and 4L positions are
intended for loose, slippery road surfaces only and not
intended for normal driving. Driving in the 4H and 4L posi
-
tions on hard-surfaced roads will cause increased tire wear
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 driveshafts 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.
