USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Note: For important information regarding
safe operation of this type of vehicle, see
General Information in the Wheels and Tires
chapter.
Note: Do not use SLIPPERY, DEEP
CONDITIONS or SLOW CLIMB on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so produces
excessive noise, increases tire wear and may
damage drive components. The 4X4 system
in these modes is only intended for
consistently slippery or loose surfaces.

Note: When a 4X4 system fault is present,

4X2 in all circumstances. When this warning
is displayed, have your vehicle serviced by
an authorized dealer.
4X4 Modes
WARNING
Vehicles with a higher center of gravity
(utility and four-wheel drive vehicles)
handle differently than vehicles with a lower
center of gravity (passenger cars). Avoid
sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt
steering in these vehicles. Failure to drive
cautiously increases the risk of losing control
of your vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
Note: The AdvanceTrac® with RSC® stability
enhancement system can be turned off
manually by pressing the AdvanceTrac
button. See Using Traction Control (page
233). This disables the engine management
feature, allowing the vehicle to maintain full
power and enhanced momentum through
the obstacle.
Note: Drive modes should not be changed
when the rear wheels are slipping.
Your vehicle engages 4X4 modes based on
the currently selected Drive Mode. See
Drive Mode Control (page 287).
