4HI: Use 4HI when you need extra traction, such as
on snowy or icy roads or in most off

-

road situations.

This setting also engages your front axle to help drive
your vehicle.

4LO: This setting also engages your front axle and
delivers extra torque. You may never need 4LO. It sends
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose
4LO if you are driving off

-

road in deep sand, deep mud,

and climbing or descending steep hills.

CAUTION:

Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission
is in PARK (P). You or someone else could be
seriously injured. Be sure to set the parking
brake before placing the transfer case in
NEUTRAL. See “Parking Brake” in the Index.

NEUTRAL: Shift the vehicle’s transfer case to
NEUTRAL only when towing your vehicle. See
“Recreational Vehicle Towing” or “Towing Your
Vehicle” in the Index for more information.

An indicator light in the knob will show you which
position the transfer case is in. The indicator lights will
come on briefly when you turn on the ignition and one
will stay on. If the lights do not come on, you should
take your vehicle to your dealer for service. An indicator
light will flash while shifting the transfer case. It will
remain illuminated when the shift is complete. If for
some reason the transfer case cannot make a requested
shift, it will return to the last chosen setting.

If the SERVICE 4WD light on the instrument panel
cluster stays on, you should take your vehicle to your
dealer for service. See “Service 4WD” in the Index for
further information.
