Electronic
Transfer
Case
If your
four-wheel
drive
vehicle
has
the
electronic
transfer
case, the
transfer case
switches
are
on
the
right
side of your
instrument
panel
above
the
radio
controls.
Use
these
switches
to shift
into
and
out
of
four-wheel drive. You can choose
among
three
driving
settings:
2HI
-
This setting
is for driving
in
most
street
and
highway
situations.
Your front
axle
is
not
engaged
in
two-wheel
drive.
4HI
-
This setting
engages
your
front
axle
to help
drive
your
vehicle.
Use 4HI when
you
need
extra
traction,
such
as
on
snowy
or
icy
roads,
or in
most off-road situations.
4LO
-
This setting
also engages your front axle
to
give
you
extra
traction. You
may never
need 4LO. It sends the
maximum
power
to
all
four wheels. You might choose
4LO
if
you were
driving off-road
in
sand, mud, deep snow
and
climbing
or
descending
steep
hills.
Amber
indicator
lights
in
the
switches
show you
which
setting
you
are in.
The indicator
lights
will
come
on briefly
when you
turn
on
the
ignition
and
one will
stay on. If the
lights do not
come on,
you
should
take
your
vehicle
in for service. When shifting,
an
indicator
light
will
flash
until
the
shift
is
completed
then
remain
solidly
lit.
To
shift

2HI
to
4HI
-
Press
and
release
the
4HI
switch. This can
be
done

any
speed, and
the
front
axle
will
lock
automatically.
To
shift
from
4HI
to
2HI
-
Press
and
release
the
2HI
switch. This can be
done at
any speed, and
the
front
axle
will
unlock
automatically.
To
shift
from
2H1,
or
4HI
to
4LO
-
The vehicle
must
be
stopped
or
moving
less
than
3

(4.8
km/h)
with
the
transmission
in
NEUTRAL
(N)
in
vehicles equipped with
an automatic transmission
or
the
clutch
pedal
depressed
in
vehicles
equipped
with
a manual
transmission. The preferred
method for shifting
