2H
Two-Wheel Drive High Range — This range is for
normal street and highway driving on dry, hard
surfaced roads.

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.
