Driving and Operating Caution (Continued) for the mode indicator lights to stop flashing before shifting the transmission into gear. 5. Start the engine and shift the transmission to the desired position. Use the dial to shift into and out of four-wheel drive. Indicator lights show which setting the transfer case is in. Two-Wheel Drive High, Automatic Four-Wheel Drive, Four-Wheel Drive High, and Four-Wheel Drive Low are indicated through the outer ring of the transfer case knob. N (Neutral) is indicated on the face of the knob. The indicator lights will display briefly when you turn on the ignition and one will stay on. If no lights display, take the vehicle to your dealer for service. If the lights display momentarily when the ignition is in ON/RUN, but none stay on, the knob may have been turned while the vehicle was off. To see the indicator, turn the knob to another position so that it matches the actual transfer case setting. An indicator light flashes while shifting the transfer case and remains illuminated when the shift is complete. If the transfer case cannot make a requested shift, it will return to the last chosen setting. 9-51 The knob will need to be turned back to the previous transfer case setting in order to see the indicator. Choose among five driving settings: 2 m (Two-Wheel Drive High): This setting is used for driving in most street and highway situations. The front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive. This setting also provides the best fuel economy. AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive): This setting is ideal for use when road surface traction conditions are variable. When driving the vehicle in AUTO, the front axle is engaged, and the vehicle's power is sent to the front and rear wheels automatically based on driving conditions. Driving in this mode results in slightly lower fuel economy than Two-Wheel Drive High. 4 m (Four-Wheel Drive High): Use this position when extra traction is needed, such as on snowy or icy roads or in most off-road situations. Automatic Transfer Case The transfer case knob is next to the steering column.
