FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION
WARNING!
• You or others could be injured ifyou 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
driveshaft and rear driveshaft from
the powertrain, and it will allow
the vehicle to move even if the
transmission is in PARK. The
parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in
the vehicle.
MP1522 Command-Trac II®
Transfer Case
• The Command-TracII®transfer case
provides four positions:
• Two-wheel drive (2WD) high range
• Four-wheel drive (4WD LOCK) high range
• Four-wheel drive (4WD LOW) low range
• NEUTRAL (N)
2WD To 4WD LOCK
• Move transfer case lever to the desired position.
• Shifts between 2WD and 4WD LOCK can be done with the vehicle stopped or
in motion. With the vehicle in motion,
the transfer case will engage/
disengage faster if you momentarily
release the accelerator pedal after
moving the transfer case lever. • If the vehicle is stopped, the key must
be in the ON/RUN position.
• Shifts can not be completed if the key is in the ACC position.
4WD LOCK To 4WD LOW
• With the engine running, slow thevehicle speed to 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h) and shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• While still rolling, move the transfer case lever to the 4WD LOW position.
• After the indicator light is ON (not flashing) shift the transmission into
gear.
• If the indicator light in the instrument cluster is flashing, the shift did not
occur and the current transfer case
position will be maintained.
• This transfer case is intended to be driven in the two-wheel drive position
(2WD) for normal street and highway
conditions such as dry, hard-surfaced
roads.
• When additional traction is required, select the transfer case 4WD LOCK
position or 4WD LOW position. This
position locks the front driveshaft and
rear driveshaft together and forces the
front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed.
• When operating in 4WD LOW, the engine speed is approximately three
times that of the 4WD LOCK position at
a given road speed. Take care not to
over-speed the engine and do not
exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
• Use the transfer case NEUTRAL position for recreational towing only.
