Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
pattern’s lighting is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or
if the front
axle lights do not go out after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the INT LIGHTS switch located to the right
of your headlight switch
to dim your transfer case indicator light when your
headlights or parking lights are
on. This will also cause your instrument
panel lights to dim.
2HI - This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI - This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use
4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most
off-road situations.
N SET PARK BRAKE - Shift to this neutral setting only when your
vehicle needs to be towed.
4LO - This setting also efigziges your front axle to give you extra traction
and provides extra gear reduction. You may never need 4LO. It
sends the
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose 4LO if you were
driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep snow and climbing or descending
steep hills.
You can shift from 2HI to 4HI
or from 4HI to 2HI while the vehicle is
moving.
Do not press the transfer case shift lever button when shifting from
2HI to
4HI or from 4HI to 2HT. Your front axle will engage faster if you
take your foot off of the accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift your transfer case into N SET PARK BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into NEUTRAL
(N).
2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are
applied.
3. Pull the transfer case shift lever into N SET PARK BRAKE.
To shift into or out of 4LO:
1. The vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (4.8 km/h)
with the transmission in NEUTRAL
(N) for an automatic transmission
or the clutch pedal depressed with a manual transmission.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARK BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4L0, or
your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4HI or 4LO 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 and reduce powertrain
longevity.

2HI - This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle
is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI - This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use 4HI when you need extra traction, such as

or
in most off-road situations.
4LO - This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra

4LO. It sends the maximum power to all
four wheels. You might choose
4LO if you were driving off-road in
sand, mud, deep snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
Amber indicator lights
in the switches show you which setting you are in.
The indicator lights will come on briefly when you turn on the ignition and
one will stay
on. If the lights do not come on, you should take your vehicle
in for service. When shifting, an indicator light will flash until the shift is
completed then remain solidly lit.
To shift from 2HI 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 2HI - Press and release the 2HI switch. This can be
done at any speed, and the front axle will unlock automatically.
To shift from 2H1, or 4HI to 4LO - The vehicle must be stopped or
moving less than
3 mph (4.8 km/h) with the transmission in NEUTRAL (N)
in vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission or the clutch pedal
depressed
in vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. The preferred
method for shifting into
4LO is to have your vehicle slowly moving 1 to 2
mph (1.6 to 3.2 kdh). Press and release the 4LO switch. You must wait for
the amber
4LO indicator light to stop flashing and go solid amber before
shifting your transmission into gear or releasing
the clutch pedal.

The turn signal has
two upward (for
Right) and two
downward (for Left)
positions. These
positions allow you
to
signal a turn or a lane
change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return automatically.
es
A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash in the direction
of the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow
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 change, 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 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 trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, 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.
