STARTING AND OPERATING 137
SHIFT POSITIONS
For additional information on the appropriate
use of each four-wheel drive system mode
position, see the information below:
4WD HI
This is the default operating range for daily use.
N (NEUTRAL)
This range disengages the driveline from the
powertrain. It is used for towing your vehicle
behind another vehicle Ú page 198.
4WD LOW
This range is for low speed four-wheel drive. It
provides an additional gear reduction which
allows for increased torque to be delivered to
both the front and rear wheels while providing
maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road
surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
SHIFTING PROCEDURES
4WD HI To 4WD LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to
5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON/RUN
position and the engine running, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL (N), push and hold
the 4WD LOW button until the 4WD LOW
indicator light begins to flash in the instrument
cluster. When the shift is complete, the 4WD
LOW indicator light will remain on solid.
4WD LOW Button
NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a “For
4x4 Low Slow Below 3 mph (5 km/h) Put Trans
in NEUTRAL (N) Push 4WD LOW” message will
flash from the instrument cluster display
Ú page 98.
4WD LOW To 4WD HI
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to
5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON position
or the engine running, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL (N), push and hold the 4WD LOW
button until the 4WD LOW indicator light begins
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you
leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer
case in the N (NEUTRAL) position without first
fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer
case N (NEUTRAL) position disengages both
the front and rear drive shafts 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.
