STARTING AND OPERATING 277 • If all the requirements to select a new transfer case position have been met, the current "Transfer Case Position Indicator Light" will turn OFF, the selected "Transfer Case Position Indicator Light" will flash until the transfer case completes the shift. When the shift is completed, the "Transfer Case Position Indicator Light" for the selected position will stop flashing and remain ON. 2WD⇔ 4WD LOCK Rotate the transfer case switch to the desired position. Shifts between 2WD and 4WD LOCK can be done with the vehicle stopped or in motion. With the vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelerator pedal after turning the switch. If the vehicle is stopped, the ignition key must be in the ON position with the engine either running or off. This shift cannot be completed if the key is in the ACC position. NOTE: The transfer case will not allow shifts between 2WD and 4WD LOCK if the front and/or rear wheels are spinning (no traction). In this situation, the selected "Transfer Case Position Indicator Light" will flash and the original "Transfer Case Position Indicator Light" will remain ON. At this time, reduce speed and stop spinning the wheels to complete the shift. 2WD or 4WD LOCK⇔ 4WD LOW NOTE: When shifting into or out of 4WD LOW some gear noise may be heard.
