The transfer case switches are below and to the left of
the climate controls. Use these switches to shift into and
out of four-wheel drive. You can choose among four
driving settings:
2HI:
This setting is used for driving in most street and
highway situations. Your front axle
is
not engaged in
two-wheel drive. This setting also provides the best
fuel economy.
AUTO
4WD:
This setting is ideal for use when road
conditions are variable. When driving your vehicle in
AUTO 4WD, the front axle is engaged, but the vehicle’s
power
is
sent only to the rear wheels. When the vehicle
senses a
loss
of
traction,
the
system will automatically
engage four-wheel drive. Driving in this mode results in
slightly lower fuel economy than
2HI.
4HI:
Use 4HI when you need extra traction, such as on
snowy or icy roads or
in
most off-road situations. This setting
also
engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
4LO:
This setting also engages your front axle and
delivers extra torque. You may never need
4LO.
It sends
maximum power to all four wheels. You might choose
4LO if you are driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud,
deep snow and climbing or descending steep hills.

Shifting the transfer case to NEUTRAL can
cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission
is
in PARK (P). You or someone else could be
seriously injured. Be sure to set the parking
brake before placing the transfer case in
NEUTRAL.
See “Parking Brake” in the Index.
NEUTRAL:
Shift the vehicle’s transfer case to neutral
only when towing your vehicle. See “Recreational
Vehicle Towing” or “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index
for more information.
