244 STARTING AND OPERATING shifting. This will allow full engagement of the newly selected position. Apply a constant force when shifting the transfer case lever. 4 FULL TIME to 4 LO or 4 LO to 4 FULL TIME With the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift an automatic transmission to N (Neutral). 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 4 FULL TIME to 4LO, the shift lever should be pushed away from the driver, and then rearward into 4LO. In 4 FULL TIME, 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 transmission to N (Neutral), hold foot on brake, and turn engine OFF. Make shift to desired mode. NOTE: Shifting into or out of 4LO is possible with the vehicle completely stopped, however difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift completion to occur. The preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). Avoid attempting to engage or disengage 4LO with the vehicle moving faster than 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
