puts the vehicle in neutral regardless of transmission gearshift
lever position. The vehicle can move forward or backwards.

This position should only be used
when towing the vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the
N (Neutral) position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn

off the ignition when leaving the vehicle.
