STARTING AND OPERATING 267 you momentarily release the accelerator pedal after turning the control switch. If the vehicle is stopped, the ignition key must be in the ON position with the engine either RUNNING or OFF. This shift cannot be completed if the key is in the ACC (Accessory) position. NOTE: The 4 wheel drive system will not allow shifts between 2WD/4WD LOCK if the front and/or rear wheels are spinning (no traction). In this situation, the "4WD" Indicator Light (located in the display under the tachometer) will flash. At this time, reduce speed and stop spinning the wheels to complete the shift. NOTE: Delayed shifting out of 4WD LOCK may be experienced due to uneven tire wear, low tire pressure, or excessive loading. MP 140 Single-Speed Full-Time Transfer Case - If Equipped Operating Information/Precautions The MP 140 is a single speed (HI range only) transfer case which provides convenient full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. This transfer case employs an inter-axle differential that divides engine torque almost evenly with 48 percent torque to the front axle and 52 percent torque to the rear axle, this allows the front and rear wheels to rotate at different speeds, on all road surfaces. The Brake Traction Control System (BTC), which combines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with traction. 5
