High, or Two-Wheel-Drive High, the vehicle must be
stopped or moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with
the transmission in N (Neutral) and the ignition in

ranges or from transfer case N (Neutral) with the engine
running.If the knob is turned to the Four-Wheel-Drive High, or
Two-Wheel-Drive High switch position when the vehicle
is in gear and/or moving, the Four-Wheel-Drive High,
or Two-Wheel-Drive High indicator light will ash
for 30 seconds but will not complete the shift unless
your vehicle is moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and the
transmission is in N (Neutral).
