STARTING AND OPERATING 231
Shifting Procedure
NOTE:
If any of the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have not been met, the
transfer case will not shift. The position indi-
cator light for the previous position will
remain ON and the newly selected position
indicator light will continue to flash until all
the requirements for the selected position
have been met.
If all the requirements to select a new
transfer case position have been met, the
current position indicator light will turn OFF,
the selected position indicator light will flash
until the transfer case completes the shift.
When the shift is complete, the position indi-
cator light for the selected position will stop
flashing and remain ON.
Five-Position Electronically Shifted Transfer
Case (Eight Speed Transmission Only) — If
Equipped
This is an electronically shifted transfer case
and is operated by the 4WD Control Switch
(Transfer Case Switch), which is located on the
instrument panel.
Five-Position/On-Demand Transfer Case — Eight
Speed Transmission Only
This electronically shifted transfer case
provides five mode positions:
Two-Wheel Drive High Range (2WD)
Four-Wheel Drive Automatic High Range
(4WD AUTO)
Four-Wheel Drive High Range (4WD HIGH)
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range (4WD LOW)
Neutral (NEUTRAL)
For additional information on the appropriate
use of each transfer case mode position, see
the information below:
2WD
Two-Wheel Drive High Range — This range is for
normal street and highway driving on dry hard
surfaced roads.
4WD AUTO
Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range — This range
sends power to the front wheels automatically
when the vehicle senses a loss of traction. This
range may be used during varying road
conditions.
4WD HIGH
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range
provides torque to the front driveshaft (engages
four-wheel drive) which allows front and rear
wheels to spin at the same speed. This provides
additional traction for loose or slippery road
surfaces only.
