Transfer Case Range Selection
Recommended Shift Lever Position
Operating Condition
"H" (high range)
This drive range shall be selected whenever possible.
High range should be used when operating on all
primary, secondary, and off-road surfaces, where little
or no wheel slippage exists. This range is also to be
used when encountering sharp, continuous turns on
high traction surfaces.
"H/L" (high lock range)
This drive range shall be selected for off- highway hilly
terrain or when continuous wheel slippage is evident;
i.e., when operating in mud, snow, loose sand, or on
ice, and increased control or additional traction is
required.
"L" (low range)
This drive range shall be selected only when high
ranges do not provide sufficient power to negotiate
steep hills or downgrades. This range shall also be
used when the vehicle is mired and cannot be
extracted using the high lock range.
"N" (neutral)
Vehicle is disabled and must be towed.
