Shifting Out of Four-Wheel Low
To shift from Four-Wheel Low to Four-Wheel High, AUTO
4WD or Two-Wheel High, your vehicle must be stopped
or moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with the transmission
in NEUTRAL (N) and the ignition in RUN. The preferred
method for shifting out of Four-Wheel Low is to have your
vehicle moving 1 to 2 mph (1.6 to 3.2 km/h). Press and
release the Four-Wheel High, AUTO 4WD or Two-Wheel
High button. You must wait for the Four-Wheel High,
AUTO 4WD or Two-Wheel High indicator light to stop
flashing and remain on before shifting your transmission
into gear.
Notice: Shifting the transmission into gear before
the Four-Wheel Low indicator light has stopped
flashing could damage the transfer case. To
help avoid damaging your vehicle, always wait for
the Four-Wheel Low indicator light to stop flashing
before shifting the transmission into gear.
It is typical for your vehicle to exhibit significant
engagement noise and bump when shifting between
Four-Wheel Low and Four-Wheel High ranges or from
NEUTRAL with the engine running.
If the Four-Wheel High, AUTO 4WD or Two-Wheel High
switch is pressed when your vehicle is in gear and/or
moving, the Four-Wheel High, AUTO 4WD or Two-Wheel
High indicator light will flash for 30 seconds but will not
complete the shift unless your vehicle is moving less than
3 mph (5 km/h) and the transmission is in NEUTRAL (N).
Shifting into NEUTRAL
To shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL do the following:
1. Make sure the vehicle is parked so that it will not roll.

page 2-32 for more information.
3. Start the vehicle or turn the ignition to RUN.
4. Put the transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
5. Shift the transfer case to Two-Wheel High.
