Default Traihawk Cherokee N button question

Hello all,

Anyone can tell what is the N button next to the mode selection on the Traihawk?
Picture attached for you to see the N button.

Thank you
Luiz

I do not have any experience with the new trailhawks but I'm going to assume that the "N" stands for Neutral which will probably blink/flash when shifting into 4WD LOW. Give it a shot and see what happens.

The mentioned N button is not a light, nor an indication.
Did my first oil change today at the dealer and was explained that it is a safety feature in case your LOW 4X4 get locked and it will not unlock (it happened to me on my 2014 TH), by pinching the button with a pen or any sharp object, it will unlock the LOW 4x4 to NEUTRAL again, so you can go back to 2X4.

Regards,
Luiz

The neutral position is also used if it is towed behind a motorhome as some people do.
