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 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.

The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Run\
ning Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make \
your vehicle more
visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. \
DRL is required
on all new vehicles sold in Canada.
The high beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness in\
daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
vvnen you turn on your headlights, the DRL will switch
off and the exrerlor
lights will come on. When you turn
off the headlights, the exterior lights will
go out and high beams will change to the reduced brightness of DRL again.
The DRL indicator light on the instrument panel will go on wh\
enever the DRL is on. This light means that only the DRL is on. When you turn \
on your
exterior lights, this light will go out. Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, set the parking brake. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
Headlights-On Reminder
