Shifting Procedure - Electronically Shifted Transfer Case NOTE: • If any of the requirements to select a new transfer case position have not been met, the transfer case will not shift. The "Transfer Case Position Indicator Light" for the previous position will remain ON and the newly selected "Transfer Case Position Indicator Light" will continue to flash until all the requirements for the selected position have been met. To retry a shift: return the control knob back to the original position, make certain all shift requirements have been met, wait five seconds and try the shift again.
