OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES Shifting Procedures 4WD HI To 4WD LOW • With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), key ON or engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and raise the transfer case T-handle. The "4WD LOW" indicator light in the instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when the shift is complete. Release the T-handle. • Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift completion to occur. The preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow the shift. NEUTRAL Shift Procedure • Key ON, engine off. • Vehicle stopped, with foot on brake. • Place the transmission into NEUTRAL. • Hold down the NEUTRAL "pin" switch (with a pen, etc.) for four seconds until the LED light by the switch starts to blink indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift is complete. A "4WD SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL" message will display on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). • Repeat these Steps to shift out of NEUTRAL. 4WD LOW To 4WD HI • With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), key ON or engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and raise the transfer case T-handle. The "4WD LOW" indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash and go out when the shift is complete. Release the T-handle. 40
