NOTE:
○
Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that must be
met before pushing the N (Neutral) button, and
must continue to be met until the shift has been
completed. If any of these requirements are not
met before pushing the N (Neutral) button or are
no longer met during the shift, then the N (Neu-
tral) indicator light will flash continuously until all
requirements are met or until the N (Neutral)
button is released.
○
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position for
a shift to take place and for the position indicator
lights to be operable. If the ignition is not in the
ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place
and no position indicator lights will be on or
flashing.
○
A flashing N (Neutral) position indicator light indi-
cates that shift requirements have not been met.
○
If the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift air
suspension, the engine should be started and
left running for a minimum of 60 seconds (with
all the doors closed) at least once every
24 hours. This process allows the air suspension
to adjust the vehicle’s ride height to compensate
for temperature effects.

requires the ignition to be in the ON/RUN
position.

ing (stay on solid) when the shift to N (Neutral) is
complete. A “4WD Neutral Warning Vehicle May
