Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running
(Automatic Transmission Models Only)
Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transmission into “P”
(Park) properly,
the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the
parking pawl
in the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull the shift
lever
out of “P’ (Park). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock,
set the parking brake and then
shift into “P” (Park) properly before you
leave the driver’s seat. To find out how, see “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)” in the
Index.
When
you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of “P” (Park)
BEFORE you release the parking brake.
If “torque
lock” does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push
yours a
little uphill to take some of the pressure from the transmission, so
you can pull the shift lever out of ‘Y’ (Park).

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
P (Park).

have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on, or comes
on when you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have
brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light

Your vehicle may have either a 5-wire or 7-wire harness.
The light duty trailer wiring is a 5-wire harness assembly taped and bundled
at the left corner
of the vehicle interior, next to the endgate. The harness has
no connector, and you should have a qualified service person wire your
harness for
you. It must be routed out of your vehicle and attached so that
the trailer or the body won’t pull
it.
The heavy duty trailer wiring is a 7-wire harness assembly consisting of a
5-wire harness and a 2-wire harness taped together and stored under the
vehicle, along
the rear frame crossmember. It has a 30-amp feed wire with
an inline fuse located by the junction block. See “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index.
Both the 5-wire harness and the 2-wire harness have no connector and
should be wired by a qualified service person. Attach the harness to the
trailer, then tape or strap
it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure you leave it
loose enough so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not so loose that it
drags
on the ground.
Store the harness in its original place.
Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly so it won’t be damaged.
