This can be done at any speed up to 121 km/h (75 mph), except when shifting from Four-Wheel Drive Low. The indicator light will flash while shifting. It will remain on when the shift is completed. Shifting Into Two-Wheel Drive High Turn the knob to the Two-Wheel Drive High position. This can be done at any speed, except when shifting from Four-Wheel Drive Low. See "Shifting Out of Four-Wheel Drive Low" later in this section. Shifting Into Four-Wheel Drive Low When Four-Wheel Drive Low is engaged, vehicle speed should be kept below 72 km/h (45 mph). Extended high-speed operation in Four-Wheel Drive Low may damage or shorten the life of the drivetrain. To shift to the Four-Wheel Drive Low position, the ignition must be in ON/RUN and the vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 5 km/h (3 mph) with the transmission in N (Neutral). The preferred method for shifting into Four-Wheel Drive Low is to have the vehicle moving 1.6 to 3.2 km/h (1 to 2 mph). Turn the knob to the Four-Wheel Drive Low position. You must wait for the Four-Wheel Drive Low indicator light to stop flashing before shifting the transmission into gear. You might choose Four-Wheel Drive Low while driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud, or deep snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills. Shifting into Four-Wheel Drive Low will turn Traction Control and StabiliTrak off. See Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control on page 9-58. { Warning Shifting the transfer case to N (Neutral) can cause the vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in P (Park). You or someone else could be seriously injured. Be sure to set the parking brake before placing the transfer case in N (Neutral). See Parking Brake on page 9-56. N (Neutral): Shift the vehicle's transfer case to N (Neutral) only when towing the vehicle.
