• When operating in 4WD LOW, the

engine speed is approximately three
times that of the 4WD LOCK position
at a given road speed. Take care not
to over-speed the engine and do not
exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).

• Use the transfer case NEUTRAL

position for recreational towing only.

2WD To 4WD AUTO

• Move transfer case lever to the

desired position.

• Shifts between 2WD and 4WD AUTO

can be done with the vehicle stopped
or in motion. With the vehicle in
motion, the transfer case will
engage/disengage faster if you
momentarily release the accelerator
pedal after moving the transfer case
lever.

• If the vehicle is stopped, the key must

be in the ON/RUN position.

• Shifts can not be completed if the key

is in the ACC position.

4WD AUTO To 4WD LOW

• With the engine running, slow the

vehicle speed to 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h) and shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL.

• While still rolling, move the transfer

case lever to the 4WD LOW position.

• After the indicator light is ON (not

flashing) shift the transmission into
gear.

• If the indicator light in the instrument

cluster is flashing, the shift did not
occur and the current transfer case
position will be maintained.

WARNING!

• You or others could be injured if

you leave the vehicle unattended
with the transfer case in the
NEUTRAL position without first
fully engaging the parking brake.
The transfer case NEUTRAL
position disengages both the front
driveshaft and rear driveshaft from
the powertrain, and it will allow the
vehicle to move even if the
transmission is in PARK. The
parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in
the vehicle.
