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 switch. 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.
The transfer case may make noise and the vehicle may
jerk when the transfer case is shifted 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
{CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the
transmission is in PARK (P). You or someone
else could be seriously injured. Be sure to set
the parking brake before placing the transfer
case in NEUTRAL. See Parking Brake on
page 2-49.
To shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL do the following:
1. Make sure the vehicle is parked so that it will
not roll.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Start the vehicle or turn the ignition to RUN.
