Shifting Procedure - NV 144 Transfer Case
AWD to 4LOCK or 4LOCK to AWD
With the key ON and the engine either OFF or RUN-
NING, rotate the transfer case switch, located on the
instrument panel to the desired position.
NOTE: Delayed shifting out of 4LOCK may be experi-
enced due to uneven tire wear, low tire pressure, or
excessive vehicle loading.
NOTE: If any of the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have not been met, the transfer case
will not shift. The indicator light will flash and the
current transfer case position will be maintained. To retry
a selection, turn the control knob back to the current
position, wait five (5) seconds, and retry the shift.
NOTE: The 4x4 system will not allow shifts between
AWD/4LOCK if the rear wheels are spinning (no trac-
tion). In this situation the position indicator light will
continue to flash. At this time, reduce speed and stop
spinning the wheels to complete the shift. There may be
a delay up to 13 seconds for the shift to complete after the
wheels have stopped spinning.
NOTE: The ignition key must be ON for a shift to take
place and for the position indicator lights to be operable.
