8. After the NEUTRAL indicator light turns off, release
the NEUTRAL button.

9. After the NEUTRAL button has been released, the
transfer case will shift into the position identified by the
transfer case switch.

10. Start the engine. Shift the transmission into DRIVE to
verify that the transfer case has engaged.

11. Set the parking brake. Shift the transmission into
PARK.

NOTE:

• Steps 1 through 5 are requirements that must be met

prior to pressing the NEUTRAL button, and must
continue to be met until one second elapses and the
shift has been completed. If any of these requirements
(with the exception of 3 - key ON) are not met prior to
pressing the NEUTRAL button or are no longer met
during the one second time, then all of the mode

position indicator lights will flash continuously until
all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL button
is released.

• The ignition key must be ON for a shift to take place

and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If
the key is not ON, the shift will not take place and no
position indicator lights will be on or flashing.

• A flashing NEUTRAL position indicator light indicates

that shift requirements have not been met.

CAUTION!

Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on tow bar

on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be
damaged.

Do not disconnect the rear driveshaft because

fluid will leak from the transfer case and damage
internal parts.
