1. Stop the vehicle and shift the transmission into neutral. This will disengage the transmission from the driveline, allowing you to shift into 4 wheel drive.
2. Locate the 4 wheel drive shift lever. It is typically located on the floor between the front seats, and it may be labeled "4WD" or "4x4."
3. Pull the 4 wheel drive shift lever into the "4H" position. This will engage the front wheels and the rear wheels, giving you 4 wheel drive traction.
4. Release the clutch pedal (if your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission) or accelerate slowly (if your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission). This will engage the driveline and move the vehicle forward in 4 wheel drive.
Note: Before shifting into 4 wheel drive, make sure that the vehicle is on a level surface and that the wheels are straight ahead. Shifting into 4 wheel drive while the vehicle is moving or while the wheels are turned can damage the drivetrain.
