When Using the Manual Transfer Case
•
Shifting should be made using quick motions.
Shifting slowly may make it more difficult to shift.
• You may notice that it is harder to shift when the
vehicle is cold. After the vehicle warms up the
shifting will return to normal.
• While in Four-Wheel High or Four-Wheel-Drive Low
you may experience reduced fuel economy.
• Avoid driving in Four-Wheel Drive on clean, dry
pavement. It may cause your tires to wear faster,
make the transfer case harder to shift, and run
noisier.
• If the transfer case shifter is in the N (Neutral)
position and you have difficulty reaching the
selected transfer case mode, with the engine
running, shift the transmission momentarily to drive
and then back to N (Neutral). This will realign
the gear teeth in the transfer case and allow you to
complete the shift.
Shifting from Two-Wheel-Drive High to
Four-Wheel-Drive High
•
Shifts between Two-Wheel-Drive High and
Four-Wheel-Drive High can be made at any
vehicle speed.
• Shift the transfer case lever in one continuous
motion into either the Four-Wheel-Drive High
or Two-Wheel-Drive High position.
• In extremely cold weather, it may be necessary
to slow or stop the vehicle to shift into
Four-Wheel-Drive High until the vehicle has
warmed up.
• While in Four-Wheel-Drive High, the vehicle
can be driven at any posted legal speed limit.
