1997 CHEVROLET BLAZER diagram

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 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 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.
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 BRAISE.
