2006 Jeep Wrangler Owner's Manual - Page 196

196 STARTING AND OPERATING Proper operation of four wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type, and circumference on each wheel. Any difference will adversely affect shifting and cause damage to the transfer case. Because four wheel drive provides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit. WARNING! You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case N (Neutral) position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of the transmission position. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. Shift Positions For additional information on the appropriate use of each transfer case mode position, see the information below: 2H Position Rear Wheel Drive High Range - Normal street and highway driving. Dry hard surfaced roads.
