Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CAUTION I
If you skip more than one gear when you downshift, you could lose
control of your vehicle. And you could injure yourself or others.
NOTICE
Locking Rear Axle
If you have this feature, your rear axle can give you additio\
nal traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle\
most of the
time, but one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does, the
locking feature will allow the wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
Parking Brake
KO424
To set the parking brake:
Hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot. Push \
down the
parking brake pedal with your left foot.
If the ignition is on, the brake system
warning light will come on.

Manual Transfer Case
I
PO1 63
The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right of the driver. Use this
lever
to shift into and out of four-wheel drive. An indicator light near the lever
shows you the transfer case settings:
2 WHEEL
4 HIGH
N SET PARKING BRAKE
4 LOW
The front axle portion
of the diagram on the indicator will light up when you
shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting and the patte\
rn's
lighting is normal.
If the pattern does not light up, or if the front axle does
not go out after you shift out
of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check
your system. Turn the dial above your headlight switch
to the left to dim your
transfer case indicator light when your headlights or parking l\
ights are on.
2 WHEEL: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4 HIGH: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use
4 HIGH when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, \
or in most off-road situations.
N SET PARKING BRAKE: Shift to this neutral setting only when your vehicle
needs
to be towed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 4 LOW: This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction.
You may never need
4 LOW. It sends the maximum power to all four wheels.
You might choose
4 LOW if you were driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep
snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
You can shift from
2 WHEEL to 4 HIGH or from 4 HIGH to 2 WHEEL while
the vehicle is moving.
It is not necessary for you to press the transfer case
shift lever button. Your front axle will engage faster if you take your foot
off
of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift into or out of 4 LOW or N SET PARKING BRAKE:
-
1. Stop your vehicle and shift your transmission into neutral.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARKING BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4 LOW,
or your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in
4 HIGH or 4 LOW may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in four-wheel drive on dry pavement could cause your tires to wear
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift.
Electronic Transfer Case
1
KO41 2
The optional electronic shift transfer case switch is on the left side of your
instrument panel above the light switches. Use this switch to \
shift into and
out of four-wheel drive. You can choose among three driving settings:
1. Two-wheel drive, “TWO WHEEL”: This setting is for driving in most
street and highway situations. Your front axle
is not engaged in
two-wheel drive.

2. 4HI: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your \
vehicle. Use 4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or ic\
y roads,
or in most off-road situations.
3. 4LO: This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction.
You may never need 4LO. It sends the maximum power to
all four
wheels. You might choose 4L0
if you were driving off-road in sand,
mud, or deep snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
Indicator lights on the switch show you which setting you are \
in. Both
indicator lights
will come on briefly when you turn on the ignition. If both
lights
do not come on, you should take your vehicle in for service. The 4HI
position has a green indicator light and the 4LO position has \
an amber
indicator light. When shifting from 4HI to 4LO or 4LO to 4HI,\
the indicator
light will flash until the shift is completed.
Two-Wheel Drive, “TWO WHEEL”, does not have a switch posi\
tion or an indicator light. Your vehicle will be in
two wheel drive if neither indicator light
is on.
To shift from two-wheel drive,
“TWO WHEEL”, to 4HI: Press and release
the 4HI switch. This can be done at any speed, and the front\
axle will lock
automatically.
To shift from 4HI to two-wheel drive, “TWO WHEEL”: Press and\
release
the 4HI switch. This can be done at any speed, and the front\
axle will unlock
automatically.
To shift from two-wheel drive, ‘‘TWO WHEEL”, or 4HI to 4LO: Stop your
vehicle. Shift your transmission into
N (Neutral) or depress your clutch pedal.
Press and release the 4LO switch. You must wait for the amber 4LO
indicator light to stop flashing and go solid amber before shi\
fting your
transmission into gear or releasing the clutch pedal.
If the 4L0 switch is pressed when your vehicle is in gear and/or moving, the
amber 4L0 indicator light will flash for
30 seconds and not complete the shift
unless your vehicle is below
3 mph and the transmission is in N (Neutral) or
the clutch pedal depressed.
On automatic transmission equipped vehicles:
If your transfer case does not
shift into 4L0, your transmission indicator switch may require adjustment. With
your transmission in
N (Neutral), press and release the 4LO switch. While the
amber 4LO indicator light is flashing, shift your transmission \
into
P (Park).
Wait until the 4LO indicator light goes solid amber before shifting your
transmission into gear. This will get you into 4L0, but you should take your
vehicle in for service
so normal operation can be restored.

The lever on the left side of the steering column includes your:
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
Headlight High-Low Beam & Passing Signal
Windshield Wipers
Windshield Washer
Cruise Control (Option)
2-35

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green ar\
row
starts to
flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane chi' -- if the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on, a signal bulb may be burned
OUT and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
(If your vehicle has the digital instrument cluster, the turn signa\
l arrows will
flash at a faster rate
if a signal bulb is burned out.)
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the tr\
ailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher instal\
led, the signal indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out\
. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are working.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and tail lights) meet all applicable Federa\
l lighting
requirements, certain states and providences may apply their own\
lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operat\
e these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate yo\
ur lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights b\
e turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most\
jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn \
or dusk.
It is
recommended that you check with your own state or provincial h\
ighway
authority for applicable lighting regulations.
