7. If the engine is running, verify

that the transfer case is in
N (Neutral) by shifting the
transmission to R (Reverse) for
one second, then shift the
transmission to D (Drive) for
one second.

ACCESSORY, which will turn the
engine off.

lever in P (Park).

10. Release the parking brake prior

to moving the vehicle.

Shifting Out of Neutral

To shift the transfer case out of
N (Neutral):

1. Set the parking brake and apply

the regular brake pedal.

2. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with

the engine off, and shift the
transmission to N (Neutral).

3. Turn the transfer case dial to the

desired transfer case shift
position (Two-Wheel Drive High,
Four-Wheel Drive High, AUTO).

After the transfer case has
shifted out of N (Neutral), the
N (Neutral) light will go out.

4. Release the parking brake prior

to moving the vehicle.

Notice: Shifting the transmission
into gear before the Four-Wheel
Drive Low indicator light has
stopped flashing could damage
the transfer case. To help avoid
damaging the vehicle, always wait
for the Four-Wheel Drive Low
indicator light to stop flashing
before shifting the transmission
into gear.

5. Start the engine and shift the

transmission to the desired
position.

Excessively shifting the transfer
case into or out of the different
modes may cause the transfer case
to enter the shift protection mode.
This will protect the transfer case
from possible damage and will only
allow the transfer case to respond to
one shift per 10 seconds. The
transfer case may stay in this mode
for up to three minutes.
