The front axle portion of the diagram
on
the indicator will light
up
when
you
shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the
pattern’s lighting is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or
if
the front
axle lights do not go out after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the INT LIGHTS switch located to the right
of your headlight switch
to
dim your transfer case indicator light when your
headlights or parking lights are
on.
This will also cause your instrument
panel lights to dim.
2HI
-
This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI
-
This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use
4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most
off-road situations.
N
SET PARK BRAKE
-
Shift to this neutral setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
4LO
-
This setting also efigziges your front axle
to
give you extra traction
and provides extra gear reduction. You may never need 4LO. It
sends
the
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose 4LO if
you
were
driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep snow and climbing or descending
steep hills.
You can shift from 2HI to 4HI
or
from 4HI to
2HI
while the vehicle is
moving.
Do not press the transfer case shift lever button when shifting from
2HI to
4HI
or from 4HI
to
2HT. Your front axle will engage faster if
you
take your foot off of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To
shift your transfer case into
N
SET PARK BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into NEUTRAL
(N).
2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are
applied.
3.
Pull the transfer case shift lever into
N
SET PARK BRAKE.
To
shift into or out of 4LO:
1.
The vehicle must be stopped or moving less than
3
mph (4.8 km/h)
with the transmission in NEUTRAL
(N)
for an automatic transmission
or the clutch pedal depressed with a manual transmission.
2.
Press
the
transfer case shift button and shift
in
one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N
SET PARK BRAKE as
you
shift into or out of 4L0, or
your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4HI or 4LO may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in four-wheel drive
on
dry pavement could cause your tires to wear
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift and reduce powertrain
longevity.
