Driving and Operating

If the Four-Wheel-Low Lock button
is pressed when the 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.

Shifting Out of
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 out of Four-Wheel-Low
Lock, the vehicle must be stopped
or moving less than 5 km/h (3 mph)
with the transmission in N (Neutral)
and the ignition in ON/RUN. The
preferred method for shifting out of
Four-Wheel-Low Lock is to have
the vehicle moving 1.6 to 3.2 km/h
(1 to 2 mph). Press and release
the Four-Wheel High or
Four-Wheel-High Lock button.

If the vehicle has a manual
transmission, the clutch pedal
must be pressed to the floor while
you press the Four-Wheel High
or Four-Wheel-High Lock button,
or the shift will not be completed.
You must wait for the Four-Wheel
High or Four-Wheel-High Lock
indicator light to stop flashing
and remain lit before shifting the
transmission into gear.

It is normal for the vehicle to have
engagement noise and bump when
shifting between Four-Wheel Low
and Four-Wheel High ranges or
from Neutral.

If the Four-Wheel High or
Four-Wheel-High Lock button is
pressed when the vehicle is in
gear and/or moving too fast,
the Four-Wheel High or
Four-Wheel-High Lock indicator
light will flash for 15 seconds
but will not complete the shift.

Shifting Into Neutral

To shift the transfer case to Neutral:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Start the vehicle.

3. Put the transmission in

N (Neutral). If the vehicle has a
manual transmission, press and
hold the clutch pedal down while
you perform Steps 5 through 9.

4. Shift the transfer case to

Four-Wheel High.

WARNING

Shifting an all-wheel-drive
vehicle's transfer case into
Neutral can cause the vehicle
to roll even if the automatic
transmission is in P (Park) or the
manual transmission is in any
gear. You or others could be
injured. Make sure the parking
brake is firmly set before you shift
the transfer case to Neutral.
