Electronically Shifted Transfer Case Operating
Information/Precautions (5 Position Switch)—If
Equipped
This is an electric shift transfer case and is operated by
the 4WD Control Switch (Transfer Case Switch), which is
located on the instrument panel.
This Electronically Shifted transfer case provides 5 mode
positions: 2 wheel drive (2WD), 4WD AUTO, 4WD HI,
Neutral and 4WD Lo.
The Electronically Shifted transfer case is designed to be
driven in the 2 wheel drive position (2WD) or 4 wheel
drive position (4WD AUTO) for normal street and high-
way conditions (dry hard surfaced roads). Driving the
vehicle in 2WD will have greater fuel economy benefits,
as the front axle is not engaged in 2WD.
For variable driving conditions the 4WD AUTO mode
can be used. In this mode the front axle is engaged, but
the vehicle’s power is sent to the rear wheels. Four wheel
drive will be automatically engaged when the vehicle
senses a loss of traction. Because the front axle is en-
gaged, this mode will result in lower fuel economy than
the 2WD mode.
