STARTING AND OPERATING
Shifting Out Of NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your
vehicle for normal usage.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
3. Start the engine.
4. Press and hold the brake pedal.
5. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
6. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, push
and hold the recessed transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector
switch) for one second.
NEUTRAL (N) Switch
7. When the NEUTRAL (N) indicator light turns
off, release the NEUTRAL (N) button.
8. After the NEUTRAL (N) button has been
released, the transfer case will shift to the
position indicated by the selector switch.
Quadra-Drive II System — If Equipped
The optional Quadra-Drive II System features
two torque transfer couplings. The couplings
include an Electronic Limited-Slip Differential
(ELSD) rear axle and the Quadra-Trac II transfer
case. The optional ELSD axle is fully automatic
and requires no driver input to operate. Under
normal driving conditions, the unit functions as
a standard axle, balancing torque evenly
between left and right wheels. With a traction
difference between left and right wheels, the
coupling will sense a speed difference. As one
wheel begins to spin faster than the other,
torque will automatically transfer from the
wheel that has less traction, to the wheel that
has traction. While the transfer case and axle
coupling differ in design, their operation is
similar. Follow the Quadra-Trac II transfer case
shifting information, preceding this section, for
shifting this system.
QUADRA-LIFT — IF EQUIPPED
Description
The Quadra-Lift air suspension system provides
full time load leveling capability along with the
benefit of vehicle height adjustment by the push
of a button. The vehicle will automatically raise
and lower the ride height to adapt to the
appropriate driving conditions. At higher
speeds, the vehicle will lower to an aerodynamic
ride height and when operating in off-road
modes, the vehicle will raise the ride height
accordingly. The buttons near the terrain switch
in the center console area can be used to set
preferred ride height to match the appropriate
conditions.
