NOTE:

Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the

vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may oc-

cur due to the mating teeth not being properly aligned.

Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth align-

ment and shift completion to occur. The preferred

method is with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to

5 km/h). Avoid attempting to engage or disengage 4L

with the vehicle moving faster than 2 to 3 mph (3 to

5 km/h).

WARNING!

Failure to engage a transfer case position completely
can cause transfer case damage or loss of power and
vehicle control. You could have a collision. Do not
drive the vehicle unless the transfer case is fully
engaged.

TRAC-LOK® REAR AXLE — IF EQUIPPED

The Trac-Lok® rear axle provides a constant driving force

to both rear wheels and reduces wheel spin caused by the

loss of traction at one driving wheel. If traction differs

between the two rear wheels, the differential automati-

cally proportions the usable torque by providing more

torque to the wheel that has traction.
Trac-Lok® is especially helpful during slippery driving

conditions. With both rear wheels on a slippery surface, a

slight application of the accelerator will supply maxi-

mum traction.

WARNING!

On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip differen-
tial, never run the engine with one rear wheel off the
ground. The vehicle may drive through the rear
wheel remaining on the ground and cause you to lose
control of your vehicle.
