II Transfer Case – If Equipped
Operating Information And Precautions
The Selec-Trac
威
II active on-demand transfer case pro-
vides four positions:
•
Two-wheel drive (2WD) high range
•
Four-wheel drive Auto (4WD AUTO) high range
•
Neutral (N)
•
Four-wheel drive (4WD LOW) low range
This transfer case is intended to be driven in either the
two-wheel drive position (2WD) or the four-wheel drive
Auto position (4WD AUTO) for normal street and high-
way conditions such as dry hard-surfaced roads.
For added capability when traversing steep grades,
rough terrain, or extremely poor traction surfaces, select
the transfer case 4WD LOW position. This position locks
the front driveshaft and rear driveshaft together and
forces the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same
speed while multiplying engine torque.
Use the transfer case NEUTRAL position for recreational
towing only. Refer to “Recreational Towing” in “Starting
and Operating” for further information.
CAUTION!
•
The 4WD LOW position is intended for loose or
slippery road surfaces only. Driving in this posi-
tion on dry hard-surfaced roads may cause in-
creased tire wear and damage to the driveline
components.
