settings:
2 WHEEL
4HIGH
0 N SET PARKING BRAKE
0 4LOW
The front axle portion of the diagram on the indicator will light up when
you shift into four-wheel drive.
A slight delay between shifting and the
pattern's lighting
is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or if the front
axle does not go out after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the
LIGHTS switch located above your
headlight switch
to the left to dim your transfer case indicator light when
your headlights or parking lights are on.
2 WHEEL: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle
is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4 HIGH: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use 4 HIGH when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads,
or
in most off-road situations.
N SET PARKING BRAKE: Shift to this neutral setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
4 LOW This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction.
You may never need
4 LOW. It sends the maximum power to all four
wheels. You might choose
4 LOW if you were driving off-road in sand,
mud, or deep snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
You can shift from 2 WHEEL to 4 HIGH or from 4 HIGH to 2 WHEEL
while the vehicle is moving. It is not necessary for you to press the transfer
case shift lever button. Your front axle will engage faster if you take your
foot off of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To shift your transfer case into N SET PARKING BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into “N” (Neutral).
2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are
applied.
To shift into or out of 4 LOW :
1. Allow your vehicle to roll at one-to-two mph or stop your vehicle and
shift your transmission into
“N” (Neutral).
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARKING BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4
LOW, or your gears could clash.
Kemember that driving in
4 HIGH or 4 LOW 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.
Electronic Transfer Case
If your four-wheel drive vehicle has the electronic transfer case, the transfer
case switch is on the left side of your instrument panel above the light
switches. Use this switch to shift into and out
of four-wheel drive. You can
choose among three driving settings:
1. Two-wheel drive, (2 WHEEL): This setting is for driving in most
street and highway situations. Your front axle is not engaged in
two-wheel drive.
2. 4 HI: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use
4 HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads,
or in most off-road situations.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3. 4 LO: This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra
traction. You may never need
4 LO. It sends the maximum power to all
four wheels.
You might choose 4 LO if you were driving off-road in
sand, mud, deep snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
Indicator lights
in the switch show you which setting you are in. Both
indicator lights will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition. If both
lights do
not come on, you should take your vehicle in for service. The 4 HI
position has a green indicator light and the 4 LO position has an amber
indicator light. When shifting, an indicator light will flash
until the shift is
completed then remain solidly lit.
Two-wheel drive, (2 WHEEL), does not have a switch position or an
indicator light. Your vehicle will be
in two wheel drive if neither indicator
light is
on.
To shift from two-wheel drive, (2 WHEEL) to 4 HI: Press and release the
4 HI switch. This can be done at any speed, and the front axle will lock
automatically.
To shift from 4 HI to two-wheel drive (2 WHEEL): Press and release the
4 HI switch. This can be done at any speed, and the front axle will unlock
automatically.
To shift from two-wheel drive (2 WHEEL) to 4 LO: The vehicle must be
stopped or moving less than
3 mph (4.8 km/h) with the transmission in “N’
(Neutral) or the clutch pedal depressed. The preferred method for shifting
into
4 LO is to have your vehicle slowly moving one-to-two mph (1.6 to
3.2 kdh). Press and release the 4 LO switch. You must wait for the amber
4 LO indicator light to stop flashing and go solid amber before shifting your
transmission
into gear or releasing the clutch pedal.
If the
4 LO switch is pressed when your vehicle is in gear and/or moving,
the amber
4 LO indicator light will flash for 30 seconds and not complete
the shift unless your vehicle is below
3 mph (4.8 kdh) and the transmission
is in
“N” (Neutral) or the clutch pedal depressed.
On automatic transmission equipped vehicles: If your transfer case does not
shift into
4 LO, your transmission indicator switch may require adjustment.
With your transmission in
“N” (Neutral), press and release the 4 LO
switch. While the amber 4 LO indicator light is flashing, shift your
transmission into

The lever on the left side of the steering column includes your:
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
0 Headlight High-Low Beam
Windshield Wipers
0 Windshield Washer
0 Cruise Control (Option)
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
The turn sign2 11 has
two upward (for
Right) and two
downward (for Left)
positions. These
positions allow you to
signal
a turn or a lane
change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is
finished,
the lever will return automatically.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal
a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold
it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on,
a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
If your vehicle has the digital instrument cluster, the turn signal arrows will
flash at
a faster rate if a signal bulb is burned out.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If
you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even if
a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are working.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlights, parking lig\
hts, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your fog
lamps
only when your lower beam headlights are also on, or that headlights
be turned
on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that
you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
Headlight High-Low Beam
To change the
headlights from low
beam to high or high
to
low, pull the turn
signal lever all the
way toward you. Then
release
it.
When the high beams
are
on, this blue
indicator light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Windshield Wipers
You control the
windshield wipers by
turning the band with
the wiper symbol on
it.
For
a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle.
If you want
more cycles, hold the band
on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a long or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn
the band to choose the delay time.
The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at
low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the
wipers, move the band to the off symbol.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well
enough
to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become damaged, get new
blades
or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop
them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
