The range change selection switch in located behind the main transmission selection lever, in the centre console. The switch is a 3-position momentary action centre sprung device. The driver pushes the lever forward to select high range and back to select low range.

The switch comprises a housing, which provides the location for a sliding contact. When the switch is moved to the high or low position, it completes a momentary connection to 12V with one of two micro-switches located at each end of the range change selection switch. These micro-switches correspond to the high or low range positions.

The transfer box control module receives this momentary signal and selects the requested range.

In this position, a spring will move the selector lever to the centre position when released.
