That image is meaningless without any supporting information, or even
the rest of the page with info on what vehicle it is for. About all
that can be said for it is at least it is in english.

The road surface doesn't need to be "extremely" slippery to use part
time 4wd. Somewhat slippery will work just fine. There is a lot of
apparently bare pavement around here (Anchorage AK) right now but
leaving it in 4wd is still the best policy. The surface is just too
unpredicable right now to chance shifting into 2wd in most locations.

You need to buy a motor manual from the sixties, like for your
CJ-5.
