FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
NV 140 Transfer Case Operating
Information/Precautions – If Equipped
The NV 140 is a single speed (4 HI range only) transfer
case which provides convenient full-time 4-wheel drive.
No driver interaction is required. This transfer case
divides engine torque almost evenly with 48 percent of
engine torque to the front axle and 52 percent of engine
torque to the rear axle.
Proper operation of 4-wheel drive vehicles depends on
tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel.
Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the
transfer case.
Because 4-wheel drive provides improved traction, there
is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.
Do not go faster than road conditions permit.
4WD
Normal 4-Wheel Drive High Range - Employs inter-axle
differential. Allows front and rear wheels to rotate at
