To select a four-wheel drive mode, press
the four-wheel drive mode control button
of the desired mode. You can select
two-wheel drive high (2H), four-wheel
drive high (4H), or if your vehicle has
four-wheel drive auto (4A) at a stop or
while driving. Once the shift is complete,
the instrument cluster display will then
display the selected four-wheel drive
mode. While shifts are in progress, the
lights on the four-wheel drive control
switch can flash and you could see
messages in the instrument cluster display
indicating that a shift is in progress or to
release the accelerator pedal to improve
shift performance.
Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator
pedal while a shift in progress message
displays improves engagement or
disengagement performance.
Note: Do not perform this operation when
cruise control or trail control is selected and
active. The system may not shift as
expected.
Note: Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping or while applying
the accelerator pedal.
Note: You could hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the instrument cluster
display. See
Four-Wheel Drive –
Information Messages (page 280).
Shifting to or from Four-Wheel
Drive Low (4L)
To select or exit four-wheel drive low (4L):
1. Bring your vehicle to a speed of 3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the transmission in neutral (N)
3. Press the desired four-wheel drive
button on the four-wheel drive mode
control switch.
The instrument cluster display will display
a message indicating a four-wheel drive
shift is in progress. If any of the above shift
conditions are not present, the shift will
not occur and the instrument cluster
display will display information guiding the
driver through the proper shifting
procedures. If there is a transfer case tooth
blockage a message will display in the
instrument cluster display. To alleviate this
condition, place the transmission in a
forward gear, move your vehicle forward
approximately 5 ft (1.5 m), and shift the
transmission back to neutral (N) to allow
the transfer case to complete the range
shift.
Note: You could hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the instrument cluster
display. See
Four-Wheel Drive –
Information Messages (page 280).
