STARTING AND OPERATING 23

If a requested downshift would cause the
engine to overspeed, that shift will not occur.

The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too
low of a vehicle speed.

Holding the (-) paddle pressed, or holding the
gear selector in the (-) position, will downshift
the transmission to the lowest gear possible at
the current speed.

Transmission shifting will be more noticeable
when AutoStick is enabled.

The system may revert to automatic shift mode
if a fault or overheat condition is detected.
NOTE:
When Selec-Speed or Hill Descent Control is
enabled, AutoStick is not active.
To disengage AutoStick, return the gear selector to
the DRIVE position, or press and hold the (+)
paddle shifter (and the gear selector is already in
DRIVE) until "D" is once again indicated in the
instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of
AutoStick at any time without taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal.

This is an electronic shift transfer case and is
operated by the 4WD Control Switch (Transfer
Case Switch), which is located on the instrument
panel.
Four-Position/On-Demand Transfer Case
This electronically shifted transfer case provides
four positions:

Four-Wheel Drive Automatic High Range
(4WD AUTO)

Four-Wheel Drive High Range (4WD HIGH)

Four-Wheel Drive Low Range (4WD LOW)

N (Neutral)
For additional information on the appropriate use
of each transfer case position, see the information
below:
4WD AUTO
Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range — This range
always sends power to the front wheels and
automatically adjusts the front and rear torque
split to optimize performance for the operating
conditions. For example, when the vehicle senses
a loss of traction. This range may be used during
varying road conditions.
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 or slippery road
surfaces only. The use of 4WD HIGH on dry paved
surfaces will increase tire wear and may cause
damage to driveline components.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides
low-speed four-wheel drive. It maximizes torque
(increased torque over 4WD HIGH) to the driveline;
allowing front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. This range provides additional
traction and maximum pulling power for loose or
slippery road surfaces only. Do not exceed 55 mph
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking
on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could
lose their grip and the vehicle could skid,
causing a collision or personal injury.
