Shifting Procedure
NOTE:
- If any of the requirements to select a new transfer case
position have not been met, the transfer case will not
shift. The position indicator light for the previous
position will remain ON and the newly selected position
indicator light will continue to flash until all the
requirements for the selected position have been met.To retry a shift: return the control knob back to the
original position, make certain all shift requirements
have been met, wait five seconds and try the shift
again.
- If all the requirements to select a new transfer case
position have been met, the current position indicator
light will turn OFF, the selected position indicator light
will flash until the transfer case completes the shift.When the shift is complete, the position indicator light
for the selected position will stop flashing and remain
ON.
AWD Auto To Low Range
NOTE: When shifting into or out of LOW RANGE some
gear noise may be heard. This noise is normal and is not
detrimental to the vehicle or occupants.
Shifting can be performed with the vehicle rolling 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) or completely stopped. Use either of
the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure
- With the engine running, slow the vehicle to 2 to
3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
- Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
- While still rolling, rotate the AWD control switch to
the desired position.
- After the desired position indicator light is ON (not
flashing), shift the transmission back into gear.
Alternate Procedure
- Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
- With the ignition switch in ON/ RUN position and
engine running, shift the transmission to Neutral.
- Rotate the AWD control switch to the desired position.
- After the desired position indicator light is ON (not
flashing), shift the transmission back into gear.
NOTE:
- If steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred or Alternate
Procedure are not satisfied prior to attempting the shift
or if they no longer are being met while the shift
attempt is in process, the desired position indicator
light will flash continuously while the original position
indicator light is ON, until all requirements have been
met.
- The ignition switch must be in the RUN position for a
shift to take place and for the position indicator lights
to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the RUN
position, then the shift will not take place and no
position indicator lights will be on or flashing.
