2WD
Rear-Wheel Drive High Range — This
range is for normal street and highway
driving on dry hard surfaced roads.
4WD AUTO
Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range —
This range sends power to the front
wheels. The four–wheel drive system will
be automatically engaged when the ve-
hicle senses a loss of traction. Additional
traction for varying road conditions.
4WD LOCK
Four-Wheel Drive Lock High Range — This range maximizes torque to the front
driveshaft, forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Additional
traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides low speed four-wheel drive. It
maximizes torque to the front driveshaft, forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate
at the same speed. This range provides additional traction and maximum pulling
power for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
