Use these buttons to shift into and out of four-wheel
drive. You can choose from the following:
2
m (Two-Wheel High): This setting is for driving in
most street and highway situations. The front axle is not
engaged in two-wheel drive.
{
WARNING:
Shifting the transfer case to Neutral can cause
the vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in
P (Park), or if you have a manual transmission,
even if you are in gear. 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 333.
N (Neutral): Shift the vehicle's transfer case to
N (Neutral) only when towing the vehicle.
4
m (Four-Wheel High): This setting engages the front
axle to help drive the vehicle. Use four-wheel high when
you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads,
or in most off-road situations.
4
n (Four-Wheel Low): This setting also engages
the front axle to give you extra traction. It sends the
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose
four-wheel low if you were driving off-road in sand, mud,
or deep snow and while climbing or descending steep
hills.

Indicator lights in the buttons show you which setting
you are in. The indicator lights will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition and one will stay on the
selected setting. If the lights do not come on, you
should take the vehicle in for service. An indicator light
will flash while shifting. It will stay on when the shift is
completed.
If the transfer case does not shift, it will return to the last
chosen setting.
