4 n (Four-Wheel Drive Low): This setting also engages your front axle and delivers extra torque. You may never need this setting. It sends maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose Four-Wheel Drive Low if you are driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud, deep snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills. StabiliTrak® will not engage in this mode. See StabiliTrak® System on page 4-6 for more information. NEUTRAL (N): Shift the vehicle's transfer case to NEUTRAL only when towing your vehicle. See Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 4-42 or Towing Your Vehicle on page 4-42 for more information. If the SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE message stays on, you should take your vehicle to your dealer for service. See "SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE message" under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55. {CAUTION: Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in PARK (P). You or someone else could be seriously injured. Be sure to set the parking brake before placing the transfer case in NEUTRAL. See Parking Brake on page 2-45.
