132 STARTING AND OPERATING If All Of The Following Shift Conditions Are Met: WARNING! transfer case will not shift. The position indi cator light for the previous position will remain on and the newly selected position indicator light will continue to flash until all the require ments for the selected position have been met. 1. The current position indicator light will turn off. Always engage the parking brake when powering down the vehicle if the SERV 4WD Warning Light is illuminated. Not engaging the parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll which may cause personal injury or death. 2. The selected position indicator light will flash until the transfer case completes the shift. 3.
When the shift is complete, the indicator light for the selected position will stop flashing and remain on. If all the requirements to select a new transfer case position have been met, the current posi tion indicator light will turn off, the selected posi tion indicator light will flash until the transfer case completes the shift. When the shift is complete, the position indicator light for the selected position will stop flashing and remain on. NOTE: Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front or rear wheels are spinning. This could cause damage to driveline components.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, the engine speed is approximately three times that of the two-wheel drive or 4WD HIGH positions at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25mph (40km/h). If One Or More Of The Following Shift Conditions Are Not Met: 1. The indicator light for the current position will remain on. 2. The newly selected position indicator light will continue to flash. 2WD TO 4WD HIGH 3. The transfer case will not shift. Push the desired position on the four-wheel drive control switch to shift the transfer case. Shifts between two-wheel drive and 4WD HIGH can be done with the vehicle stopped or in motion.
With the vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelerator pedal after turning the control switch. If the vehicle is stopped, the ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN position with the engine either running or off. This shift cannot be completed if the ignition switch is in the ACC position. NOTE: Before retrying a selection, make certain that all the necessary requirements for selecting a new transfer case position have been met. To retry the selection, push the current position, wait five seconds, and retry selection Ъ page135. The SERV 4WD Warning Light monitors the electronically shifted four-wheel drive system.
If this light remains on after engine start-up or illuminates during driving, it means that the four-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is required. Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the drivetrain. Because four-wheel drive provides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit. Shifting Procedure NOTE: The four-wheel drive system will not allow shifts between 2WD/4WD HIGH if the front and/or rear NOTE:
