4-63 Using a Transfer Case Mounted Power
Take-Off (Automatic Transmission)
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL (N).
4. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL (N).
5. Engage the PTO.
If you are going to drive the vehicle, shift the
transfer case into the range you want. Turn the
ignition to START. Then apply the regular brakes
and release the parking brake.
6. Shift the transmission to THIRD (3) to start the PTO.
7. Release the regular brakes to drive the vehicle.
Disengaging a Power Take-Off
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Put the transmission in PARK (P).
3. Release the PTO
4. Restart the engine.
Step-Bumper Pad
If your vehicle has a rear step bumper, it may
be equipped with a rear step pad at the center of
the bumper.
If you will be using the
bumper to tow a trailer, you
must remove the center
cutout circle to install the
trailer ball. You must
also remove both outer
cutouts to attach the
trailer safety chains.
To remove the pad, lift the
edge of the pad from the
rear of the bumper and
swing it forward. When the
pad releases from the
bumper holes, lift the
pad off.

2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren't touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you don't want. You wouldn't be able to
start your vehicle, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved in
the jump start procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in PARK (P) or a manual transmission
in NEUTRAL (N). If you have a four
-wheel-drive
vehicle, be sure the transfer case is not in
NEUTRAL (N).
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlets. Turn off all lamps
that aren't needed as well as radios. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. In addition, it
could save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive (+) and negative (
-) terminals on each battery.
CAUTION:
If your vehicle has air conditioning, the auxiliary
electric fan under the hood can start up even
when the engine is not running and can injure
you. Keep hands, clothing and tools away from
any underhood electric fan.

Brake-Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) Check
(Automatic Transmission)
CAUTION:
When you are doing this check, the vehicle could
move suddenly. If it does, you or others could be
injured. Follow the steps below.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle. It should be parked on a
level surface.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake (see ªParking Brakeº
in the Index if necessary).
NOTE: Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately if the vehicle begins to move.
3. With the engine off, turn the key to the RUN
position, but don't start the engine. Without applying
the regular brake, try to move the shift lever out of
PARK (P) with normal effort. If the shift lever
moves out of PARK (P), your vehicle's BTSI
needs service.Ignition Transmission Lock Check
While parked, and with the parking brake set, try to turn
the ignition key to LOCK in each shift lever position.

With an automatic transmission, the key should turn
to LOCK only when the shift lever is in PARK (P).

With a manual transmission, the key should turn to
LOCK only when you press the key release button.
On all vehicles, the key should come out only in LOCK.
