Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)

WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed if you leave
the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the
NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging
the parking brake. The NEUTRAL (N) position dis-
engages both the front and rear drive shafts from the
powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if
the transmission is in PARK. The parking brake
should always be applied when the driver is not in
the vehicle.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine

running.

2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.

4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspen-

sion, ensure the vehicle is set to Normal Ride Height.

5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, push and hold

the recessed transfer case NEUTRAL (N) button (lo-

cated by the selector switch) for four seconds. The

light behind the NEUTRAL (N) symbol will blink,

indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blink-

ing (stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is

complete. A “NEUTRAL” message will appear in the

Driver Information Display (DID). Refer to “Driver

Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your

Instrument Panel” for further information.
