Shifting into Four-Wheel High or AUTO
4WD (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive)
Press and release the four-wheel high or AUTO 4WD
switch. This can be done at any speed, except
when shifting from Four-Wheel Low, and the indicator
light will flash while shifting. It will remain on when
the shift is completed.
Shifting into Two-Wheel High
Press and release the Two-Wheel High switch. This can
be done at any speed, except when shifting from
Four-Wheel Low.
Shifting into Four-Wheel Low
Notice: Shifting the transfer case into Four-Wheel
Low while moving at speeds faster than 3 mph
(5 km/h) may cause premature wear to the transfer
case, and may cause the gears to grind. To avoid
causing premature wear, and grinding the gears, do
not shift the transfer case into Four-Wheel Low while
the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h).
To shift to Four-Wheel Low, the ignition must be in RUN
and the vehicle must be stopped or moving less than
3 mph (5 km/h) with the transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
The preferred method for shifting into 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 Low switch. You must
wait for the Four-Wheel Low indicator light to stop
flashing and remain on before shifting your transmission
in 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 (N) with the engine running.
If the Four-Wheel Low switch is pressed when your
vehicle is in gear and/or moving, the Four-Wheel Low
indicator light will flash for 30 seconds and not complete
the shift unless your vehicle is moving less than
3 mph (5 km/h) and the transmission is in NEUTRAL (N).
After 30 seconds the transfer case will shift to
four-wheel high mode.
