Indicator lights in the dial show which setting you
are in. The indicator lights will come on briey
when you turn on the ignition and one will stay on.
If the lights do not come on, you should take
your vehicle to your dealer for service. An indicator
light ashes while shifting the transfer case and
remains illuminated when the shift is complete. If
for some reason the transfer case cannot
make a requested shift, it will return to the last
chosen setting.

used for driving in most street and highway
situations. The front axle is not engaged in
Two-Wheel Drive. This setting also provides the
best fuel economy.

Four-Wheel-Drive High position when extra traction
is needed, such as on snowy or icy roads or in
most off-road situations. This setting also engages
the front axle to help drive your vehicle. This is
the best setting to use when plowing snow.

Shifting Out of NEUTRAL
To shift out of NEUTRAL do the following:
1. Set the parking brake and apply the regular
brake pedal.
2. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N) and
turn the ignition to RUN with the engine off.
3. Turn the transfer case dial to
Two-Wheel-Drive High.
After the transfer case has shifted out of
NEUTRAL the NEUTRAL light will go out.
4. Release the parking brake prior to moving the
vehicle.
Notice:Shifting the transmission into gear
before the requested mode indicator light has
stopped ashing could damage the transfer
case. To help avoid damaging your vehicle,
always wait for the mode indicator lights
to stop ashing before shifting the
transmission into gear.
5. Start the engine and shift the transmission to
the desired position.Excessively shifting the transfer case into or out of
the different modes may cause the transfer
case to enter the shift protection mode. This will
protect the transfer case from possible damage
and will only allow the transfer case to respond to
one shift per 10 seconds. The transfer case
may stay in this mode for up to three minutes.
Automatic Transfer Case
The transfer case knob
is located next to the
steering column.

Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
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.
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without
keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, cruise control
is turned off.If your vehicle has an Allison
®automatic
transmission, see “Grade Braking and Cruise
Grade Braking (Allison Transmission
®) under
Tow/Haul Mode on page 144for an explanation of
how cruise control interacts with the range selection
mode, tow/haul and grade braking systems.
If your vehicle has the StabiliTrak
®™ system and
begins to limit wheel spin while you are using
cruise control, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. SeeStabiliTrak
®System on
page 381. When road conditions allow you to
safely use it again, you may turn the cruise
control back on.
The cruise control
buttons are located on
left side of the
steering wheel.
