Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive
The transfer case on your Full-Time Four-Wheel
Drive vehicle is designed to constantly send
your engine’s driving power to all four wheels for
extra traction. To get the most out of Full-Time
Four-Wheel Drive, you must be familiar with
its operation.
Notice:Driving on pavement in Four-Wheel
High Lock or Four Wheel Low Lock for
extended periods may cause premature wear
on your vehicle’s powertrain and tires. Do
not drive in Four-Wheel High Lock or
Four-Wheel Low Lock on pavement for
extended periods.
Transfer Case Buttons
The transfer case
buttons are located to
the right of the
instrument panel cluster.
Use these switches to
shift into and out of
the different Full-Time
Four-Wheel
Drive modes.
The transfer case is a part of the Full-Time
Four-Wheel Drive system and allows the following
four different modes of operation:
4
m(Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive):This setting
is used for driving in most street and highway
situations. You can also use this setting for light or
variable off-road conditions.
128

Indicator lights in the buttons show which mode you
are in. The indicator lights will come on briey when
you turn on the ignition and one will stay on. If the
lights do not come on, you should take your vehicle
to your dealer for service. An indicator light will ash
while shifting the transfer case. It will remain on
when the shift is complete. If for some reason the
transfer case cannot make a requested shift, it will
return to the last chosen setting.
If the SERVICE 4WD message stays on, you
should take your vehicle to your dealer for service.
See “Service 4WD message” underDriver
Information Center (DIC) on page 222.

(64 km/h), press and release the Four-Wheel High
or Four-Wheel-Low Lock button. The indicator
light will ash while shifting. It will remain on when
the shift is complete.
It may be necessary to drive backwards for a
short distance of 25 feet (7.5 m) to get the lock
feature to disengage.
Shifting into Four-Wheel-Low Lock
To shift into Four-Wheel-Low Lock, the ignition
must be in RUN and the vehicle must be stopped or
moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with the
transmission in NEUTRAL (N). The preferred
method for shifting into Four-Wheel Low is to have
your vehicle moving 1 to 2 mph (1.6 to 3.2 km/h).
Press and release the Four-Wheel-Low Lock
button. You must wait for the Four-Wheel-Low Lock
indicator light to stop ashing and remain lit before
shifting your transmission in gear.
Notice:Shifting the transmission into gear
before the indicator light stops ashing could
cause damage to the transfer case. Always
wait until the indicator light stops ashing
before putting the transmission back in gear.
It is normal for your vehicle to have engagement
noise and bump when shifting between
Four-Wheel Low and Four-Wheel High or
Four-Wheel-High Lock ranges or from NEUTRAL
with the engine running.

the transmission to REVERSE (R), then shift
the transmission to DRIVE (D) and then
back to NEUTRAL (N).
8. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY, which will
turn the engine off.
9. Place the transmission shift lever in PARK (P).

turn the ignition to RUN with the engine off.
3. Press the button for the desired transfer case
shift position (Four-Wheel High,
Four-Wheel-High Lock, or
Four-Wheel-Low Lock).
4. After the transfer case has shifted out of
NEUTRAL the red light will go out.
Notice:Shifting the transmission into gear
before the indicator light stops ashing could
cause damage to the transfer case. Always
wait until the indicator light stops ashing
before putting the transmission back in gear.
5. You may start the engine and shift the
transmission to the desired position.

Full-time four-wheel drive vehicles with
the transfer case in NEUTRAL will allow
the vehicle to roll, even if your shift lever
