Range Change Procedure

NOTE: Changing from high range to low range can be performed only when the vehicle is stationary.

Range change can be requested at any time while the engine is running. When the conditions are not met for range change, the IPC displays the appropriate message in the message center. The message guides the driver to complete the range change and the low range warning indicator flashes. When Neutral is selected in the TCS , the TCS is locked until the range change is completed.

The range change process can take several seconds to complete after a request is accepted. The actual time is dependent on a number of factors including:

Transfer case temperature is out of range.
Component wear.
When the first attempt was unsuccessful.
