Can the Hi-Lo Transfer Case Switch be operated while moving?

TRUE DURING LOW SPEED ONLY FALSE ONLY WHEN STATIONARY

Correct Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Shifting the Hi-Lo transfer case changes which gears are engaged to multiply torque, and those gears must mesh cleanly. That meshing is best ensured when the drivetrain is not moving, because the gears and shafts are under load and at different speeds during motion. If you try to switch while the vehicle is moving, you can cause gear clash, torque shocks, or drivetrain damage, and it can affect control of the vehicle. For this reason, operating the Hi-Lo transfer case switch while moving is not recommended; you should stop and follow the procedure in the manual before selecting the range.
