Electronic Transfer Case
Ifyour four-wheel-drive
vehiclehas the electronic
transfercase, the transfer
casebuttons are to the
rightof the steering wheel
onthe instrument panel.
Use these buttons to shift into and out of four-wheel
drive. You can choose among three driving settings:
2HI (Two-Wheel High): This setting is for driving
in most street and highway situations. Your front axle is
not engaged in two-wheel drive. When this lamp is
lit, it is about one-half as bright as the others.
4HI (Four-Wheel High): This setting engages your
front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use 4HI when you
need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads,
or in most off-road situations.
4LO (Four-Wheel Low): This setting also engages
your front axle to give you extra traction. You may never
need 4LO. It sends the maximum power to all four
wheels. You might choose 4LO if you were driving
off-roadin sand, mud or deep snow and climbing
or descending steep hills.
Indicator lights in the buttons show you which setting
you are in. The indicator lights will come on briefly when
you turn on the ignition and one will stay on. If the
lights do not come on, you should take your vehicle in
for service. An indicator light will flash while shifting.
It will remain illuminated when the shift is completed.
