vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/

disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelera-

tor pedal after completing the shift. Apply a constant

force when shifting the transfer case lever.
2H Or 4H To 4L
With the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift

the transmission into NEUTRAL. While the vehicle is

coasting at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift the transfer

case lever firmly to the desired position. Do not pause in

transfer case NEUTRAL.
NOTE:

• Pausing in transfer case NEUTRAL in vehicles

equipped with an automatic transmission may require

shutting the engine OFF to avoid gear clash while

completing the shift. If difficulty occurs, shift the

transmission into NEUTRAL, hold foot on brake, and

turn the engine OFF. Make shift to the desired mode.

• Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the vehicle

completely stopped, however difficulty may occur due

to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned.

Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth

alignment and shift completion to occur. The preferred

method is with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to

5 km/h). Avoid attempting to engage or disengage 4L

with the vehicle moving faster than 2 to 3 mph (3 to

5 km/h).

• Do not attempt to shift into or from 4L while the

transmission is in gear.
