STARTING AND OPERATING 121
3. When the shift is complete, the indicator
light for the selected position will stop
flashing and remain on.
If shift conditions are not met, one or more of
the following events may occur:
1. The indicator light for the current position
will remain on.
2. The newly selected position indicator light
will continue to flash.
3. The transfer case will not shift.
NOTE:
Before retrying a selection, make certain that all
the necessary requirements for selecting a new
transfer case position have been met
Ú page 122.
The “SERV AWD” Warning Light monitors the
electronic shift all-wheel drive system. If this
light remains on after engine start up or
illuminates during driving, it means that the
all-wheel drive system is not functioning
properly and that service is required.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to make a shift while only the
front or rear wheels are spinning. This could
cause damage to driveline components.
When operating your vehicle in AWD LOW, the
engine speed is approximately three times that
of the AWD AUTO position at a given road speed.
Take care not to overspeed the engine and do
not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
Proper operation of all-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 all-wheel drive provides improved
traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe
turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster
than road conditions permit.
For additional information on the appropriate
use of each transfer case mode position, see
the information below:
AWD LOW
All-Wheel Drive Low Range – This range
provides low speed all-wheel drive. Locks the
front and rear driveshafts together forcing the
front and rear wheels to rotate at the same
speed. Additional traction and maximum pulling
power for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do
not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NEUTRAL (N)
This range disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain. To be used for
flat towing behind another vehicle Ú page 164.
WARNING!
Always engage the parking brake when
powering down the vehicle if the “SERV AWD
Warning Light” is illuminated. Not engaging
the parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll
which may cause personal injury.
