Shifting between Four-Wheel High

With the vehicle traveling less than 45 mph
(72 km/h), press and release the Four-Wheel High
or Four-Wheel-High Lock button. The indicator light
will flash while shifting. It will remain lit when the

It may be necessary to drive backwards while turning

feature to disengage.
Shifting into Four-Wheel Low Lock
Notice: Shifting the transmission into gear before
the indicator light stops flashing could cause
damage to the transfer case. Always wait until the
indicator light stops flashing before putting the
transmission back in gear.
To shift into Four-Wheel-Low Lock, the ignition must be in
ON 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 Lock button.
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, the clutch
pedal must be pressed to the floor while you press the
Four-Wheel-Low Lock button, or the shift will not be
completed. You must wait for the Four-Wheel-Low Lock
indicator light to stop flashing and remain lit before
shifting your transmission in gear.
It is normal for your vehicle to have engagement noise
and bump when shifting between Four-Wheel Low
and Four-Wheel High ranges or from NEUTRAL with
the engine running.
If the Four-Wheel-Low Lock button is pressed when
your vehicle is in gear and/or moving too fast, the
Four-Wheel-Low Lock indicator light will flash for
15 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 15 seconds
the transfer case will return to the last chosen setting.
