298 STARTING AND OPERATING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION NV 140 Transfer Case Operating Information/Precautions - If Equipped The NV 140 is a single speed (HI range only) transfer case which provides convenient full-time four-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the transfer case. Because four-wheel drive provides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit. NV 244 Generation II Transfer Case Operating Information/Precautions - If Equipped The NV 244 Generation II is an electric-shift transfer case and is operated by the 4WD Control Switch, which is located on the instrument panel. The NV 244 Generation II transfer case provides four mode positions - Normal four-wheel drive (4WD) high range, four-wheel drive lock (4WD LOCK) range, fourwheel drive low (4WD LOW) range, and NEUTRAL. This transfer case is equipped with an inter-axle differential that allows driving the vehicle in the normal all-wheel drive position (4WD) at all times on any given road surface, including dry, hard-surfaced roads.
