5 km/h).
2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
3. While still rolling, rotate the transfer case control
switch to the desired position.
4. After the desired position indicator light is ON (not
flashing), shift transmission back into gear.

1. Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
2. With the key ON and the engine either OFF or
running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
3. Rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired
position.
4. After the desired position indicator light is ON (not
flashing), shift transmission back into gear.
NOTE:
•
If steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred or Alternate

then the desired position indicator light will flash
continuously while the original position indicator light
is ON, until all requirements have been met.
•
The ignition key must be ON for a shift to take place
and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If
the key is not ON then the shift will not take place and
