[. . . ] Operating the vehicle in four-wheel drive on dry pavement will increase tire wear, decrease fuel economy, and make four-wheel drive disengagement difficult for the transfer case. 190 4x4 system indicator lights A 4x4 light and a LOW RANGE light are located at the lower right of the instrument cluster. u 2H position -- Neither the 4X4 or the LOW RANGE lights are lit. u 4H position -- Only the 4x4 light is lit. u N position -- Neither the 4x4 or LOW RANGE lights are lit. RANGE lights are lit. u 4L position -- Both the 4x4 and the LOW Lever Operated System With Automatic Locking Hubs To shift from 2H to 4H: Stop the vehicle and move the transfer case shift lever straight back to the 4H position, the automatic locking hubs will engage when the vehicle is driven. When the automatic locking hubs are engaged, shifts between 2H and 4H may take place at any speed. u The automatic locking hubs may disengage in 2H if the vehicle's direction is momentarily reversed, or the vehicle is allowed to roll slightly in the opposite direction. If a grinding noise occurs when shifting from 2H to 4H while the vehicle is moving, one or both of the automatic locking hubs have been disengaged and the transfer case shift lever should be switched back to the 2H position. To shift back into 4H, stop the vehicle and move the transfer case shift lever straight back to the 4H position. 191 u When the vehicle is stopped while in 4H and the vehicle's direction is reversed from the previous direction, the automatic locking hubs momentarily disengage and then re-engage. The automatic locking hubs may click as they automatically engage in the new direction. To shift from 4H to 2H: Move the transfer case shift lever straight forward to the 2H position. To disengage the automatic locking hubs, operate the vehicle in 2H in the opposite direction for approximately 10 feet (3 meters). For example: If you were driving the vehicle forward in 4H, the automatic locking hubs will disengage the next time the vehicle is driven in reverse in 2H for approximately 10 feet (3 meters). If you were driving the vehicle in reverse in 4H, the automatic locking hubs will disengage the next time the vehicle is driven forward in 2H for approximately 10 feet (3 meters). -- Operating in 2H with the hubs locked increases fuel consumption, noise, vibration, and wear. For prolonged 2H operation on dry pavement, disengage the automatic locking hubs. 192 To shift between 4H and 4L: Stop the vehicle and place the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL or depress the clutch on manual transmission vehicles. Push the transfer case shift knob down (toward the ground) and at the same time pull or push the lever straight forward or rearward (depending on the desired position, 4H or 4L) in order to shift the transfer case. This shift should be in one continuous motion without pausing in the N (neutral) position. Pausing in the neutral position can result in gear clash and difficult shifting. If, while shifting between 4H and 4L, the transfer case gets stuck in the N (neutral) position or is difficult to shift into either 4H or 4L, it may be necessary to let the vehicle roll slightly and/or turn off the engine (particularly on vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions). To shift into and out of N (neutral) To shift into N (neutral), stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake. Place the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL or depress the clutch. From either the 4H or 4L position, push the transfer case shift knob down (toward the ground) and move the transfer case shift lever to the N (neutral) position. The N (neutral) position should only be used for vehicle towing. NOTE: Dash mounted four wheel drive indicator lights are off when your vehicle is in neutral. To shift from N (Neutral) to either 4H or 4L, stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake. [. . . ] untwisting or unjamming the safety belt .
