A 4WD indicator light
comes on when you
shift into four-wheel
drive and the front axle
engages. See

Some delay between shifting and when the
indicator light comes on is normal.

An indicator light near the lever shows you the
transfer case settings:

Notice: Driving on clean, dry pavement in
four-wheel drive for an extended period of time
may cause premature wear on your vehicle’s
powertrain. Do not drive on clean, dry
pavement in four-wheel drive for extended
periods of time.

4L (Four-Wheel Low): This setting also engages
the front axle and delivers extra torque. You
may never need 4L. It sends maximum power to
all four wheels. You might choose 4L if you
are driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud, deep
snow, and while climbing or descending steep
hills. When operating in 4L, the gear ratio provides
additional torque when compared to 4H. The
transmission gear shift feel will be exaggerated.
