The switch is located on the center console between the driver's and passenger's seats. See Instrument Panel Overview for more information.

While the switch is up, the rear axle is in the high range. Push it down to get the low range.

To operate off-road or under a heavy load, shift into low range while the vehicle is standing still and then operate the transmission normally.

On the highway, with the rear axle in low range and the transmission in top gear, you can shift the rear axle to high range by raising the switch and releasing the accelerator momentarily. Reapply the accelerator after you shift.

Under light load conditions, first shift the rear axle into the high range with the vehicle at a standstill and then operate the transmission normally.
