on, the desired position (4WD AUTO, 4WD
LOW, or NEUTRAL) has been obtained.
4WD Low
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range - This range is for
low speed four-wheel drive. Locks the front
driveshaft and rear driveshaft together forcing
the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same
speed. Additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose or slippery road surfaces
only. Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
• An indicator light will flash.
N
Neutral - This range disengages both the front
driveshaft and rear driveshaft from the powertrain. To be used for flat towing behind another
vehicle. Refer to “Recreational Towing” in this
section for more information.
Transfer Case Position Indicator Lights
The four-wheel drive indicator lights (4WD, 4
LOW) are located in the instrument cluster. The
NEUTRAL indicator light is located on the
transfer case switch. If there is no indicator light
on or flashing, the transfer case position is

If one or more shift requirements are not
met:
• The transfer case will not shift.
NOTE:
The “SERV 4WD Warning Light” monitors
the electric shift four-wheel drive system. If
this light remains on after engine start up, or
it illuminates during driving, it means that
the four-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is required.
Shifting Procedures
NOTE:
If any of the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have not been met,
the transfer case will not shift, the indicator
light for the previous position will remain on,
and the newly selected position indicator
light will continue to flash until all the requirements for the selected position have
been met. To retry a shift, move the transfer
case switch back to the original position,
make certain all shift requirements have
been met, wait five seconds, and try the shift
again.
2WD to 4WD Auto
Move the transfer case switch to the desired
position. Shifts between 2WD and 4WD Auto
can be done with the vehicle stopped or in
motion. If the vehicle is stopped, the ignition
switch must be in the ON position with the
engine either OFF or RUNNING. This shift cannot be completed if the ignition switch is in the
ACC position.
2WD or 4WD Auto to 4WD Low
When shifting into or out of 4WD LOW, some
gear noise may be heard. This noise is normal
and is not detrimental to the vehicle or its
occupants.
Shifting can be performed with the vehicle
rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) using the
“Preferred Procedure” or completely stopped
using the “Alternate Procedure.”
