2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.

3. While still rolling, rotate the transfer case control
switch to the desired position.

4. After the position indicator light has stopped flashing,
shift the transmission back into gear.

Alternate Shifting Procedure

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.

2. With the key ON and the engine either OFF or
running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.

3. Rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired
position.

4. After the position indicator light has stopped flashing,
shift the transmission back into gear.

NOTE:

• The ignition key must be ON for a shift to take place

and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If
the key is not ON then the shift will not take place and
no position indicator lights will be on or flashing.

• If any of the requirements to select a new transfer case

position have not been met, the transfer case will not
shift. The indicator light will flash and the current
transfer case position will be maintained. To retry the
selection, turn the control knob back to the current
position, wait five seconds, and retry the shift.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a
wedge of water to build up between the tire and road
surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause
partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping
ability. To reduce this possibility, the following precau-
tions should be observed:

1. Slow down during rainstorms or when roads are
slushy.
