Shifting Out of Neutral

To shift the transfer case out of N (Neutral):

1. Set the parking brake and apply the regular brake

pedal.

2. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off,

and shift the transmission to N (Neutral).

3. Turn the transfer case dial to the desired transfer

case shift position (Two-Wheel Drive High,
Four-Wheel Drive High, AUTO).

After the transfer case has shifted out of
N (Neutral), the N (Neutral) light will go out.

4. Release the parking brake prior to moving the

vehicle.

Notice: Shifting the transmission into gear before
the Four-Wheel Drive Low indicator light has
stopped flashing could damage the transfer case.
To help avoid damaging the vehicle, always wait for
the Four-Wheel Drive Low indicator light to stop
flashing before shifting the transmission into gear.

5. Start the engine and shift the transmission to the

desired position.

Excessively shifting the transfer case into or out of the
different modes may cause the transfer case to enter
the shift protection mode. This will protect the transfer
case from possible damage and will only allow the
transfer case to respond to one shift per 10 seconds.
The transfer case may stay in this mode for up to
three minutes.
