To unlock the hubs:
1. Stop your vehicle.
2. Drive seven feet (two meters) in the
direction opposite to the direction
you were driving before you stopped.
3. Then, press the clutch if you have a
manual transmission, and shift the
transfer
case to 2H. The hubs will
unlock.
Transfer Case
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 comes on when
the transfer case is in
4H or 4L.
2H: This setting is for driving in most
street and highway situations. Your front
axle
is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4H: This setting engages your front axle
to help drive your vehicle. Use
4H
when you need extra traction, such as
on wet or icy roads,
or in most off-road
situations.
N (Neutral): Shift to this setting only
when your vehicle needs
to be towed.
4L: This setting also engages your front
axle to give you extra traction, but
should be used only for driving downhill
or on slippery surfaces when you’re
driving slower than
35 mph (55 km/h).
Remember that driving in 4H or 4L 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.
You can shift from
2H to 4H or from
4H to 2H at any speed if your hubs are
locked and your wheels are straight
ahead. Your front
axle will engage
faster if you take your foot off the
accelerator pedal for a
few seconds as
you shift.

When one of the warning lights comes
on and stays on
when you are driving,
or when one of the gages shows there
may be a problem, check the section
that tells you what to do about
it. Please
follow the manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can
be costly - and even
dangerous. So please get to know your
warning lights and gages. They’re a big
help.
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage shows about how much
fuel
is in your tank. When the gage first
indicates
E, you still have a little fuel
left (about one
or two gallons), but you
need to get more right away.
Here are four concerns some owners
have had about the fuel gage. All these
situations are normal and do not indicate
that anything is wrong
with the fuel
gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts

than the gage reads. For example, the
gage reads
1/2 full, but it took more
(or less) than half of the tank’s
capacity to fill it.
The gage moves a little when you
turn, stop or speed up.
When you turn the engine off, the
gage doesn’t
go back to E.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant
temperature. If the gage pointer moves
to the “H” (red) side, your engine is
too hot! It means that your engine
coolant has overheated and you should
stop your vehicle and turn off the engine
as soon as possible.

Charging System Light
This light will come on briefly when
you turn on
the ignition, but the engine
is not running, as a check to show you it
is working. Then it should go out when
the engine starts. If it stays on, or
comes on while you are driving, you
may
have a problem with the electrical
charging system. It could indicate that
you have a loose generator drive belt, or
another electrical problem. Have
it
checked right away. Driving while this
light
is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with
the light
on, be certain to turn off
all your accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check
Engine Light)
A computer monitors operation of your
fuel, ignition and emission control
systems. The light should come on when
the ignition is on, but the engine is not
running, as a check to show you
it is
working. If
it does not come on at all,
have it fixed right away. If it stays
on,
or comes on while you are driving, the
computer is indicating that you have
a
problem. You should take your vehicle
in for service soon.
