Locking Rear Axle
Your locking rear axle can give you additional traction
on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel.
It works like a
standard axle most
of the time, but when one of the rear
wheels has no traction and the other does, this feature
will allow the wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
Four-wheel Drive
Because your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can
send your engine’s driving power to all four wheels for
extra traction.
To shift out of two-wheel drive and into
four-wheel drive, push the 4HI or 4LO button on the
transfer case switch. You should use 2HI for most
normal driving conditions.
Driving in the 4HI or 4LO positions for a long
time on dry
or wet pavement could shorten the
life
of your vehicle’s drivetrain.
Electronic Transfer Case
The transfer case switches
are above the radio controls.
Use
these switches to shift into and out of four-wheel
drive.
You can choose among three driving settings:
2HI: This setting is for driving in most street and
highway situations. Your front axle is not engaged in
two-wheel drive.
4HI: This setting engages your front axle to help drive
your vehicle. Use
4HI when you need extra traction,
such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most
off-road situations.
