When additional traction is required, the transfer case 4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW
positions can be used to maximize torque to the front driveshaft, forcing the front and
rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This is accomplished by pushing the desired
position on the 4WD control switch.
Refer to “Shifting Procedure” in the “Starting And Operating” section of you Owner’s
Manual located on the DVD for specific shifting instructions.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured or killed if you leave the vehicle unattended with the
transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear
drive shafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the
transmission is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.
