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 headlamp switch to dim your transfer case
indicator light when your headlamps or parking lamps
are

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 engages 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 2HI. 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

A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are turned
on and your ignition is in OFF,
LOCK or ACCESSORY. To turn the tone off, press the
OFF switch.
Daytime Running Lamps (If So Equipped)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come
on at
reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off, and
the parking brake is released. When the
DRL are
on, only your headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on.
The instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When
it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light
is a reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The
other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will
also come
on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular
lamps will go off, and your headlamps will change to
the reduced brightness
of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until
you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
