FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

OPERATION

WARNING!

• You or others could be injured if

you leave the vehicle unattended

with the transfer case in the

NEUTRAL position without first

fully engaging the parking brake.

The transfer case NEUTRAL

position disengages both the front

driveshaft and rear driveshaft from

the powertrain, and it will allow

the vehicle to move even if the

transmission is in PARK. The

parking brake should always be

applied when the driver is not in

the vehicle.

MP1522 Command-Trac II

®

Transfer Case

• The Command-TracII

®

transfer case

provides four positions:

• Two-wheel drive (2WD) high range

• Four-wheel drive (4WD LOCK) high

range

• Four-wheel drive (4WD LOW) low

range

• NEUTRAL (N)

2WD To 4WD LOCK

• Move transfer case lever to the desired

position.

• Shifts between 2WD and 4WD LOCK

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

moving the transfer case lever.

• If the vehicle is stopped, the key must

be in the ON/RUN position.

• Shifts can not be completed if the key

is in the ACC position.

4WD LOCK To 4WD LOW

• With the engine running, slow the

vehicle speed to 2 to 3 mph (3 to

5 km/h) and shift the transmission into

NEUTRAL.

• While still rolling, move the transfer

case lever to the 4WD LOW position.

• After the indicator light is ON (not

flashing) shift the transmission into

gear.

• If the indicator light in the instrument

cluster is flashing, the shift did not

occur and the current transfer case

position will be maintained.

• This transfer case is intended to be

driven in the two-wheel drive position

(2WD) for normal street and highway

conditions such as dry, hard-surfaced

roads.

• When additional traction is required,

select the transfer case 4WD LOCK

position or 4WD LOW position. This

position locks the front driveshaft and

rear driveshaft together and forces the

front and rear wheels to rotate at the

same speed.

• When operating in 4WD LOW, the

engine speed is approximately three

times that of the 4WD LOCK position at

a given road speed. Take care not to

over-speed the engine and do not

exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).

• Use the transfer case NEUTRAL

position for recreational towing only.
