STARTING AND OPERATING
152
2WD
Rear-Wheel Drive High Range — This range
is for normal street and highway driving on
dry hard surfaced roads.
4WD HIGH
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range
provides torque to the front driveshaft
(engages four-wheel drive) which allows front
and rear wheels to spin at the same speed.
This provides additional traction for loose,
slippery road surfaces only.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range
provides low speed four-wheel drive. It maxi
-
mizes torque (increased torque over 4WD
HIGH) to the front driveshaft; allowing 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) in this range.
NEUTRAL (N)
Neutral — This range disengages both the
front and rear driveshafts from the power
-
train. To be used for flat towing behind
another vehicle. Refer to “Recreational
Towing” in this section for further informa -
tion.
This electronically shifted transfer case is
designed to be driven in the two–wheel drive
position (2WD) for normal street and
highway conditions on dry hard surfaced
roads). Driving the vehicle in 2WD will have
greater fuel economy benefits as the front
axle is not engaged in 2WD.
When additional traction is required, the
transfer case 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW
positions can be used to maximize torque to
the front driveshaft, forcing the front and
rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This
is accomplished by pushing the desired posi
-
tion on the 4WD control switch.
Refer to “Shifting Procedure” in the
“Starting And Operating” section of your
Owner’s Manual for specific shifting instruc
-
tions.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case
(Four-Position Switch) — If Equipped
The electronic shift transfer case is operated
by the 4WD Control Switch (Transfer Case
Switch), which is located on the instrument
panel.
WARNING!

You or others could be injured or killed if
you leave the vehicle unattended with
the transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N)
position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both
the front and rear drive shaft from the
powertrain, and will allow the vehicle to
roll, even if the transmission is in PARK.
The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the
vehicle.

The transmission may not engage PARK
if the vehicle is moving. Always bring the
vehicle to a complete stop before
shifting to PARK, and verify that the
transmission gear position indicator
solidly indicates PARK (P) without
blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is
completely stopped, and the PARK posi
-
tion is properly indicated, before exiting
the vehicle.
