Four-wheel Drive
(If
Equipped)
If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your
engine’s driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction. To get the most satisfaction out of four-wheel
drive,
you
must be familiar with its operation. Read the
part that follows before using four-wheel drive. You
should use 2-WHEEL HIGH (2H) for
most
normal
driving conditions.
NOTICE:
Driving in the 4-WHEEL HIGH (4H) or
4-WHEEL LOW (4L) positions for
a
long
time
on
dry or wet pavement could shorten the life of
your vehicle’s drivetrain.
Front Axle Locking Feature
The front axle locks and unlocks automatically when
you shift the transfer case. Some delay for the axle
to
lock or unlock
is
normal. If the outside temperature is
very
hot,
or the vehicle has been used under hard driving
conditions, there may be a slight delay for the axle
to unlock.
Manual Transfer Case (If Equipped)
The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right
of
the driver. Use this lever to shift into
and
out
of
four-wheel drive.
