Section 40 (Transfer Case): General Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Isuzu Rodeo Sport, 2003 Isuzu Rodeo, 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport, and 2002 Isuzu Rodeo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transfer case is used to provide a means of providing power flow to the front axle. The transfer case also provides a means of disconnecting the front axle, providing better fuel economy and quieter operation when the vehicle is driven on improved roads where four wheel drive is not required. In addition, the transfer case provides an additional gear reduction when placed in low range, which is useful when difficult off-road conditions are encountered.
Use the 4WD switch on the center cluster panel to select the drive range. The 4WD indicator lamp is on when 4WD is selected.
