Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)

WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed 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 and rear drive shafts from
the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move
regardless of the transmission position. The parking
brake should always be applied when the driver is
not in the vehicle.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine

running.

2. Press and hold the brake pedal.

3. Shift the transmission into “N”.

4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspen-

sion, ensure the vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height.

5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold

the recessed transfer case “N” button (located by the
selector switch) for four seconds. The light behind the
“N” symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress.
The light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the
shift to “N” is complete. A “FOUR WHEEL DRIVE
SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the
EVIC (Electronic Vehicle Information Center). Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
