The frontaxle portion of the diagram on the indicator will light up when you shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the pattern's lighting is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or if the front axle lights do not go out after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check your system. Turn the INT LIGHTS switch located to the right of your headlight switch to dim your transfer case indicator light when your headlights or parking lights are on. This will also causeyour instrument panel lights to dim. 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. N SET PARK BRAKE - Shift to this neutral setting only when your vehicle needs to be towed. 4LO -This setting also efigziges your front axle to give you extra traction and provides extra gear reduction. 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, or deepsnow and climbing or descending steep hills. You can shift from 2HI to 4HI or from 4HI to 2HI while the vehicle is moving. Do not press the transfer case shift lever button when shifting from 2HI to 4HI or from 4HI to 2HT. Your front axle will engage faster if you take your foot off of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift. To shift your transfer case intoN SET PARK BRAKE: 1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into NEUTRAL (N). 2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are applied. 3. Pull the transfer case shift lever into N SET PARK BRAKE. To shift into orout of 4LO: 1. The vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (4.8 km/h) with the transmission in NEUTRAL (N) for an automatic transmission or the clutch pedal depressed with a manual transmission. 2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion. Don't pause in N SET PARK BRAKE asyou shift into or outof 4L0, or your gears could clash. Remember that driving in 4HI or 4LO may reduce fuel economy. Also, driving in four-wheel drive on dry pavement could cause your tires to wear faster and make your transfer case harder to shift and reduce powertrain longevity. 2-29

The
frontaxle portion
of the diagram
on
the indicator will light
up
when
you
shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay
between shifting and
the
pattern’s lighting is normal. If
the
pattern does not light up, or
if
the front
axle lights do not go out after you shift out of
four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the INT LIGHTS switch located to the right
of your headlight switch
to
dim your transfer case indicator light when your
headlights or parking lights are
on.
This will also
cause your instrument
panel lights to dim.
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.
N
SET PARK BRAKE
-
Shift to this
neutral
setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
4LO
-
This setting also efigziges your front axle
to
give you extra traction
and provides extra gear reduction. 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, or
deep snow and climbing or descending
steep hills.
You can shift from 2HI to
4HI
or
from 4HI to
2HI
while the vehicle is
moving.
Do
not press
the transfer case shift lever button
when shifting from
2HI to
4HI
or from 4HI
to
2HT.
Your front axle will engage faster if
you
take your foot off
of
the accelerator for a few seconds after you
shift.
To
shift your transfer case
into
N
SET PARK
BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into NEUTRAL
(N).
2. Set the parking brake.
Your vehicle can
roll
unless the brakes are
applied.
3.
Pull the transfer case shift lever into
N
SET PARK BRAKE.
To
shift into
or out of 4LO:
1.
The vehicle must
be
stopped or moving less than
3
mph (4.8 km/h)
with the transmission in NEUTRAL
(N)
for an automatic transmission
or the clutch pedal depressed with a manual transmission.
2.
Press
the
transfer case shift
button
and shift
in
one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N
SET PARK BRAKE
as
you
shift into or
out of 4L0, or
your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4HI
or
4LO may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in
four-wheel drive
on
dry pavement could cause your tires to wear
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift
and reduce powertrain
longevity.
