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 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 flash and turn off when the shift is
complete.
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 (8 km/h) 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
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspension, ensure the vehicle is set
to Normal Ride Height.
5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for four seconds. The light
behind the N symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A “FOUR
WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the EVIC
(Electronic Vehicle Information Center).
6. After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL (N) light stays on, release the
NEUTRAL (N) button.
