9-40 Driving and Operating Shifting Out of Neutral After towing the vehicle, you will have to shift out of N (Neutral) in order to drive. To shift out of N (Neutral), do the following: 1. Set the parking brake and apply the regular brake pedal. 2. Start a vehicle with an automatic transmission in P (Park). Use 1 (First) for vehicles with a manual transmission. 3. Shift the transmission to N (Neutral), or press the clutch pedal for vehicles with a manual transmission. 4. Press the button for the desired transfer case shift position (Two-Wheel High, Four-Wheel High, or Four-Wheel Low). 5. After the transfer case has shifted out of N (Neutral), the indicator light will go out. 6. Release the parking brake. 7. Shift the transmission to the desired position. Brakes Antilock Brake System (ABS) This vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent a braking skid. When the engine is started and the vehicle begins to drive away, ABS checks itself. A momentary motor or clicking noise might be heard while this test is going on, and it might even be noticed that the brake pedal moves a little. This is normal. If there is a problem with ABS, this warning light stays on. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light on page 5‑15. If driving safely on a wet road and it becomes necessary to slam on the brakes and continue braking to avoid a sudden obstacle, a computer senses that the wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each wheel. ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, as required, faster than any driver could. This can help the driver steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
