STARTING AND OPERATING 239 4L 4-Wheel-Drive Low Range - Low speed 4 wheel drive. Locks the front and rear driveshafts together. Forces the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). (Allows engine starting without depressing the clutch pedal on vehicles equipped with manual transmission. Refer to "Starting Procedures - Manual Transmission (4WD Models Only)" in this section. Shifting Procedure 2H to 4H or 4H to 2H Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with the vehicle in motion up to 55 mph (88 km/h). The transfer case will engage/disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelerator pedal after completing the shift. Apply a constant force when shifting the transfer case lever. 4H to 4L or 4L to 4H With the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift an automatic transmission to N (Neutral) or depress the clutch on a manual transmission. While the vehicle is coasting at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift the transfer case lever firmly to the desired position. Do not pause in transfer case N (Neutral). NOTE: To shift from 4H to 4L, the shift lever should pushed away from the driver, and then rearward into 4L. In 4H, there is a neutral stop to prevent shifting into N (Neutral) by accident. NOTE: Pausing in transfer case N (Neutral) in vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission may require shutting the engine OFF to avoid gear clash while completing the shift. If difficulty occurs, shift automatic transmission to N (Neutral), hold foot on brake, and turn engine OFF. Make shift to the desired mode. 5
