Four-Wheel High
To shift from Four-Wheel Low to
Two-Wheel High or Four-Wheel
High, the vehicle must be stopped
or moving less than 5 km/h (3 mph)
with the transmission in N (Neutral)
for an automatic transmission or the
clutch pedal pressed for a manual
transmission. The preferred method
for shifting out of Four-Wheel Low
is to have your vehicle moving
1.6 to 3.2 km/h (1 to 2 mph).
Press and release the Four-Wheel
High or Two-Wheel High button. You
must wait for the Four-Wheel High
or Two-Wheel High indicator light
to stop flashing and stay on before
shifting the transmission into gear or
releasing the clutch pedal.
If the Four-Wheel High or
Two-Wheel High button is
pressed when the vehicle is in
gear and/or moving faster than
5 km/h (3 mph), the Four-Wheel
High or Two-Wheel High indicator
light will flash for 30 seconds but not
complete the shift.
Shifting to Neutral

tow the vehicle. See Recreational
Vehicle Towing on page 10‑94 for
towing instructions. To shift the
transfer case into N (Neutral) do the
following:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Press the regular brake pedal
and shift the transmission in

clutch for vehicles with a
manual transmission.

Two-Wheel High.
5. Press and hold the Two-Wheel
High and Four-Wheel Low
buttons at the same time for
10 seconds. The N (Neutral) light
will come on when the transfer
case shift to N (Neutral) is
complete.

pedal and shift the transmission
to R (Reverse) for one second,
then shift the transmission to
D (Drive) for one second,
or 1 (First) for vehicles with
manual transmissions, and let
out the clutch to insure the
transfer case is in N (Neutral).
If the transfer case is not
in N (Neutral), repeat this
procedure starting at Step 3.

the key to ACC/ACCESSORY.
8. Place the transmission shift
lever in P (Park), or 1 (First) for
vehicles that have a manual
