Shifting from Four-Wheel Low to Two-Wheel High or Four-Wheel High To shift from Four-Wheel Low to Two-Wheel High or Four-Wheel High, your vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with the transmission in NEUTRAL (N) for an automatic transmission or the clutch pedal pressed for a manual transmission. The preferred method for shifting out of four-wheel low is to have your vehicle moving 1 to 2 mph (1.6 to 3.2 km/h). Press and release the Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel High button. You must wait for the Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel High indicator light to stop flashing and stay on before shifting the transmission into gear or releasing the clutch pedal. If the Four-Wheel High or Two-Wheel High button is pressed when your vehicle is in gear and/or moving faster than 3 mph (5km/h), the Four-Wheel High or Two Wheel High indicator light will flash for 30 seconds but not complete the shift. Shifting to NEUTRAL Use NEUTRAL when you plan to tow your vehicle. See Recreational Vehicle Towing on page 4-41 for towing instructions. To shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL do the following: 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Start the vehicle. 3. Press the regular brake pedal and shift the transmission in NEUTRAL (N), or press in the clutch for vehicles with a manual transmission. 4. Shift the transfer case to Two-Wheel High. 5. Press and hold the Two-Wheel High and Four-Wheel Low buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. The NEUTRAL (N) light will come on when the transfer case shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. 6. Press and hold the regular brake pedal and shift the transmission to REVERSE (R) for one second, then shift the transmission to DRIVE (D) for one second, or FIRST (1) for vehicles with manual transmissions, and let out the clutch to insure the transfer case is in NEUTRAL. If the vehicle is not in NEUTRAL, repeat this procedure starting at Step 3. 7. Turn the engine off by turning the key to ACC. 8. Place the transmission shift lever in PARK (P), or FIRST (1) for vehicles that have a manual transmission. 9. Turn the ignition to LOCK. 2-31
