FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Note: Four-wheel drive is also called 4WD
and 4x4.
This system has the ability to anticipate
wheel slip and transfer torque to the front
wheels before slip occurs. The system
automatically turns on every time you
switch the ignition on. A graphic is shown
in the instrument cluster display to advise
you of the power distribution between the
front and rear wheels.
Four-wheel drive has operating
characteristics that are somewhat
different from two-wheel drive, both on
and off the freeway.
When driving at slow speeds under high
load conditions, use a low gear when
possible. Depending on your vehicle, you
can select a low gear through the gear
shifter or by using the paddle shifters.
Under severe operating conditions, the air
conditioning cycles on and off to prevent
the engine from overheating. Drive slower
in strong crosswinds as they can affect the
normal steering characteristics of
your vehicle.
When driving your vehicle on surfaces
made slippery by loose sand, water, gravel,
snow or ice, proceed with care.
REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCK*
The rear differential lock is for off-road use
only and is not for use on dry pavement.
The rear differential lock provides
additional traction on loose or steep
terrain, or should your vehicle become
stuck. You can activate and deactivate
the rear differential lock on the fly within
the operating speed range by pressing the
button on the drive mode control. The rear
differential lock automatically disengages
when the vehicle speed exceeds a set
value and it re-engages when the vehicle
speed goes below a set value. Refer to
the table in the Four-Wheel Drive chapter
of your Owner’s Manual for the speeds
when the rear differential lock activates
and deactivates. It also engages based on
selected drive modes.
The rear differential lock feature provides
an indicator in the instrument cluster
display when in use. While the feature is in
standby mode, the indicator displays gray.
While the feature is active, the indicator
changes color.
