When your headlights or parking lights are on, rotate the dial to the right of
your headlight switch up
to
brighten, or down to dim, your transfer case
indicator light.
2H
(2-Wheel High): This setting is for driving
in
most street and highway
situations. Your front axle
is
not
engaged
in
two-wheel drive.
4H
(4-Wheel High): This setting engages your front axle
to
help drive your
vehicle. Use
4H
when you need extra traction, such
as
on wet or icy roads,
or
in
most off-road situations.
N
(Neutral): Shift
to
this
setting only when your vehicle needs
to
be towed
or when using
a
power take-off.
4L
(4-Wheel Low): This setting
also
engages your front axle
to
give
you
extra power, but should be used only for off-road driving.
You can shift from
2H
to
4H
or from
4H
to
2H
while the vehicle
is
moving.
Your front axle
will
engage faster
if
you take your foot off of the accelerator
for a few seconds after you shift.
In
extremely cold weather it may be
necessary to stop or slow the vehicle to shift out of
2H.
To shift into or out of
4L
or
N
(Neutral):
Slow the vehicle to
a
roll, about
1-3
mph (2-5
km/h)
and shift
your
transmission
into
neutral.
0
Shift the transfer case shift lever
in
one continuous motion.
Don’t pause
in
N
(Neutral)
as
you shift the transfer case into
4L,
or your
gears could clash.
Remember that driving
in
4H
or
4L
may reduce
fuel
economy.
Also,
driving
in
four-wheel drive on dry pavement could cause your tires
to
wear faster
and make your transfer case harder to shift.
Front Axle Locking Feature
The front axle locks and unlocks automatically
when
you shift the transfer
case. Some delay for the axle
to
lock or unlock
is
normal. If the outside
temperature is very hot, or the vehicle has been used under hard driving
conditions, there may be
a
slight delay for the axle to unlock.
