NSTRUCTIONS /PRECAUTIONS — IF
E
QUIPPED
This system contains a single-speed (HI range
only) transfer case, which provides convenient
full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD). No driver
interaction is required. The Brake Traction
Control (BTC) System, which combines standard
ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance
to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional
torque transfer to wheels with traction.
NOTE:
This system is not appropriate for conditions
where AWD Low is recommended Ú page 171.
ELECTRONICALLY SHIFTED TRANSFER
C
ASE (TWO-POSITION SWITCH) — IF
E
QUIPPED
This is an electronically shifted transfer case
and it is operated by the AWD control switch,
which is located on the center console.
AWD Control Switch (Two-Position)
This electronically shifted transfer case
provides two mode positions:
All-wheel drive low range (AWD LOW)
N (NEUTRAL)
When additional traction is required, the transfer
case AWD LOW position can be used to lock the
front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front
and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This is
accomplished by pushing the AWD LOW switch
Ú
page 123. The AWD LOW position is designed for
loose, slippery road surfaces only. Driving in the
AWD LOW position on dry, hard surfaced roads may
cause increased tire wear and damage to the
driveline components.
Transfer Case Position Indicator Messages
The Transfer Case Position Indicator message
(AWD LOW) is located in the instrument cluster
and indicate the current and desired transfer
case selection Ú page 89. When you select a
different transfer case position, the position
indicator lights will do the following:
If All Shift Conditions Are Met:
1. The current position indicator light will turn off.
2. The selected position indicator light will flash
until the transfer case completes the shift.
3. When the shift is complete, the indicator
light for the selected position will stop
flashing and remain on.
