2H (Two-Wheel Drive High Range)

4H AUTO (Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range)

4H PT (Four-Wheel Drive Part-Time High 

Range)

N (Neutral)

4L (Four-Wheel Drive Low Range)

For additional information on the appropriate 

use of each transfer case mode position, see 

the information below:
2H
Two-Wheel Drive High Range — This range is for 

normal street and highway driving on dry, hard 

surfaced roads.
4H AUTO
Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range — This range 

sends power to the front wheels. The four-wheel 

drive system will be automatically engaged 

when the vehicle senses a loss of traction. 

Additional traction for varying road conditions.
4H PT
Four-Wheel Drive Part-Time High Range — This 

range maximizes torque to the front driveshaft, 

forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the 

same speed. This range provides additional 

traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only.

N (Neutral)

Neutral — This range disengages both the front 

and rear driveshafts from the powertrain. To be 

used for flat towing behind another vehicle

WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed if you 

leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer 

case in the (N) Neutral position without first 

fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer 

case (N) Neutral position disengages both the 

front and rear driveshafts from the 

powertrain, and will allow the vehicle to roll, 

even if the automatic transmission is in PARK 

(or manual transmission is in gear). The 

parking brake should always be applied when 

the driver is not in the vehicle.
