FOUR WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION

FOUR-POSITION/PART TIME TRANSFER CASE

The transfer case provides four mode

positions:

• Two-wheel drive high range (2WD)

• Four-wheel drive high range (4WD

LOCK)

• NEUTRAL (N)

• Four-wheel drive low range (4WD

LOW)

This transfer case is intended to be

driven in the 2WD position for normal

street and highway conditions, such as

dry, hard-surfaced roads.

When additional traction is required, the

4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW positions can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts

together.

When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).

Shifting Procedure

Shifting between 2WD and 4WD LOCK can be made with the vehicle stopped or in

motion at speeds up to 55 mph (88 km/h).

Shifting between 2WD or 4WD LOCK into 4WD LOW must be made with the

transmission in NEUTRAL and the vehicle stopped or rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to

5 km/h).

NOTE:

It is preferred to have the engine running and the vehicle moving at 2 to 3 mph (3 to

5 km/h).

WARNING!

You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer

case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The

transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts

from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of the transmis-

sion position. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not

in the vehicle.
