WARNING:

Shifting the transfer case to N (Neutral) can cause
the vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in
P (Park). You or someone else could be seriously
injured. Be sure to set the parking brake before
placing the transfer case in N (Neutral). See
Parking Brake on page 3‑50.

N (Neutral) : Shift the vehicle's transfer case to
N (Neutral) only when towing the vehicle. See
Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 5‑43 or Towing
Your Vehicle on page 5‑43
for more information.

If the SERVICE 4–Wheel Drive message stays on, you
should take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer for
service. See “Service 4–Wheel Drive message” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑63.

Shifting Into Four-Wheel-Drive High or
AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive)

Turn the knob to the Four-Wheel-Drive High or AUTO

shifting from Four-Wheel-Drive Low. The indicator light
will flash while shifting. It will remain on when the shift is
completed.

Shifting Into Two-Wheel-Drive High

Turn the knob to the Two-Wheel-Drive High position.
This can be done at any speed, except when shifting
from Four-Wheel-Drive Low. The indicator light will flash

Shifting Into Four-Wheel-Drive Low

When Four-Wheel-Drive Low is engaged, vehicle speed
should be kept below 45 mph. Extended high-speed
operation in Four-Wheel-Drive Low may damage or
shorten the life of the drivetrain.

To shift to the Four-Wheel-Drive Low position, the
ignition must be in ON/RUN and the vehicle must be
stopped or moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with the
transmission in N (Neutral). The preferred method for
shifting into Four-Wheel-Drive Low is to have the
