Some mechanical noise may be heard when the system engages. This is normal and no service is required. Note: The Manual 4WD system has a N (Neutral) position in the transfer case. This setting overrides the transmission and puts the vehicle in Neutral regardless of gearshift position. This setting should only be used when towing the vehicle. 7 ABS WARNING LAMP Illuminates briefly when the ignition is turned to the ON position.
