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 transmis-
sion 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 oc-
cur 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 pre-
ferred 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).
