When Using the Manual Transfer Case

Shifting should be made using quick motions.
Shifting slowly may make it more difficult to
shift.

You may notice that it is harder to shift when
the vehicle is cold. After the vehicle warms
up the shifting will return to normal.

While in 4H or 4L you may experience
reduced fuel economy.

Avoid driving in four-wheel drive on clean, dry
pavement. Doing this may cause the tires to
wear faster, and make your transfer case
harder to shift, and run noisier.

Shifting from 2H (Two-Wheel Drive High)
to 4H (Four-Wheel Drive High)

Shifts between 2H and 4H can be made at
any vehicle speed.

It is easiest to shift the transfer case when
maintaining a constant speed or during a slight
acceleration. If possible, avoid shifting while
slowing down, as it will make it harder to shift.

Shift the transfer case lever in one continuous
motion into either the 4H or 2H position.

In extremely cold weather, it may be necessary
to slow or stop the vehicle to shift into 4H until
your vehicle has warmed up.

While in 4H, your vehicle can be driven at any
posted legal speed limit.
