WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1989 Ford Pickup, 1989 Ford Cab & Chassis, and 1989 Ford Bronco. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When using 2WD, shift transfer case in "2H" position by pushing selector "Low Range" and/or "4 X 4" push buttons. Ensure that both indicator lights are off. To disengage automatic locking hubs, move vehicle in opposite direction (forward or reverse) and drive a minimum of 10 feet in a straight line. Always disengage hub locks before driving vehicle on dry, hard pavement.
