Shifting Out of NEUTRAL
To shift the transfer case out of NEUTRAL, do the
following:
1. Set the parking brake and apply the regular
brake pedal.
2. Turn the ignition to RUN with the engine off.
3. Put the transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
4. Turn the transfer case knob to the desired
shift position (Two-Wheel High, Four-Wheel
High, Four-Wheel Low).
5. After the transfer case has shifted out of
NEUTRAL, the indicator light goes out.Notice:Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake system
parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully
released and the brake warning light is
off before driving.
6. Release the parking brake.
7. Start the engine and shift the transmission
lever to the desired position.
Excessively shifting the transfer case into or out of
the different modes can cause the transfer case
to enter the shift protection mode. This protects the
transfer case from possible damage and only
allows the transfer case to respond to one shift per
10 seconds. The transfer case can stay in this
mode for up to three minutes.

Hazard Warning Flashers
The hazard warning flashers warn others. They
also let police know you have a problem.
Your front and rear turn signal lamps will flash
on and off.
The hazard warning
flasher button is located
on top of the steering
column.
The hazard warning flashers work no matter what
ignition position the key is in, and even if the
key is not in the ignition.
Press the button to make the front and rear turn
signal lamps flash on and off. Press the button
again to turn the flashers off.

Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set them up

Sound the horn by pushing the center of the
steering wheel. If you have the optional air horn, it is
controlled by a cord that you will find up above and
to the left of the driver. The harder you pull on the
cord, the louder the air horn will sound. The air horn
works only after your air brake system pressure
gets up to about 115 psi (790 kPa). The air horn will
work properly unless the air brake system pressure
drops below 60 psi (415 kPa).
Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can raise it to the highest
level to give your legs more room when you
exit and enter the vehicle.

is located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever.
Then move the wheel to a comfortable position
and release the lever to lock the wheel in place.Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever

slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
