Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed transfer case NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for one second. 7. When the NEUTRAL (N) indicator light turns off, release the NEUTRAL (N) button. 8. After the NEUTRAL (N) button has been released, the transfer case will shift to the position indicated by the selector switch. 9. Shift the transmission into PARK and turn the engine OFF. 10.

NOTE: • Steps 1 through 5 are requirements that must be met before pressing the NEUTRAL (N) button, and must continue to be met until the shift has been completed. If any of these requirements are not met before pressing the NEUTRAL (N) button or are no longer met during the shift, the NEUTRAL (N) indicator light will flash continuously until all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL (N) button is released. • The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the ON/RUN position, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing. • A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light indicates that shift requirements have not been met. 125
