press the “4WD LOW” button once. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the
instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when the shift is
complete.
NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met a message will flash from the Electronic

press the “4WD LOW” button once. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the
instrument cluster will flash and go out when the shift is complete.
NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met a message will flash from the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) with instructions on how to complete the re-
quested shift. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop and shift the transmission to PARK.
2. Turn the engine OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, but do not start the engine.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal.
5. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
6. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed Power Transfer Unit NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for four
seconds. The light behind the NEUTRAL (N) symbol will blink, indicating shift in
progress. The light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL

10. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehiclemovement.
11. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.
12. Apply the parking brake.
NOTE:
Repeat these Steps to shift out of NEUTRAL.
REAR ELECTRONIC LOCKER (E-LOCKER) SYSTEM
• The Rear E-Locker System features a mechanical locking rear differential to provide better traction in the 4WD LOW position. The “REAR LOCK” button is on
the Selec-Terrain Knob
Activating The Rear E-Locker
• To activate the Rear E-Locker System, the following conditions must be met: • The 4WD system must be in 4WD LOW.
• The ignition switch in the ON position or the engine running.
• Vehicle speed must be below 15 MPH (24 km/h).
• To engage Rear E-Locker, press the REAR LOCK button once.
Deactivating The Rear E-Locker System
• To deactivate the Rear E-Locker System, the following conditions must be met: • Rear E-Locker must be engaged, and the REAR LOCK indicator light on.
• The ignition switch in the ON position or the engine running.
• To disengage Rear E-Locker , press the REAR LOCK button once.
NOTE:
• It may also be necessary to drive slowly steering back and forth to complete engagement and disengagement of the E- Locker.
• When engaging Rear E-Locker, the indicator lights in the instrument cluster and on the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash. When the shift is complete the REAR
LOCK indicator lights will remain on.
• When disengaging Rear E-Locker, the indicator lights in the instrument cluster and on the REAR LOCK button will begin to flash. When the shift is complete the
REAR LOCK indicator lights will remain off.
• Shifting into or out of Rear E-Locker is possible with the vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being
properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and
shift completion to occur. The preferred method is for the vehicle to be rolling,
below 15 MPH (24 km/h), while including right and left steering maneuvers to
allow for the clutch teeth to align.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system
light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the
charging system.
We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four
minutes when this light turns on.
We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock
portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However,
the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE
warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to
restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions
such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures
will influence when the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe
Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps
described under “Instrument Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergen-
cies” in this guide or “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” or “Driver
Information Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your
Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles
(16,000 km) or twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and
off road environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
