Information/Precautions
The Com mand -Trac transfer case provid es 4 mode
positions - 2 (rear) wheel drive high range, 4-wheel drive
high range, neu tral, and 4-wheel drive low range.
The least amount of accelerator pedal pressu re to main-
tain the rocking motion withou t spinning the wheels or
racing the engine is most effective. Racing the engine or
spinning the wheels, due to the frustration of not freeing
the vehicle, may lead to transm ission overheating and
failu re. Allow the engine to idle with the transm ission
selector in N (Neutral) for at least one minu te after every
five rocking-m otion cycles. This will minim ize overheat-
ing and red uce the risk of transm ission failu re during
prolonged efforts to free a stu ck vehicle.
This transfer case is intend ed to be driven in the 2-wheel
drive position (2H) for norm al street and highw ay con-
ditions such as dry hard surfaced road s.
