Shifting Procedures

4WD HI To 4WD LOW

• With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition

switch in the ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL, and press the “4WD LOW” button once on
the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the
instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when the shift
is complete.

4WD LOW To 4WD HI

• With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition

NOTE:
• If the shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor

temperature protection exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below 5 MPH or 8 KPH
Put Trans in N Press 4 Low” message will flash on the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).

• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely

stopped; however, difficulty may occur 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 preferred method is with the
vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than
3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow the shift.

NEUTRAL Shift Procedure

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, engine off.

• Vehicle stopped, with foot on brake.

• Place the transmission into NEUTRAL.

• Press and hold the NEUTRAL button located near the 4WD mode control

knob with a pen or similar object for four seconds. The indicator light will
begin to flash indicating the shift is in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift is complete. A “4WD
SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).

• Repeat these Steps to shift out of NEUTRAL.
