5. Shift the transmission into drive (D) for
automatic transmissions or press the
clutch in and select a forward gear and
release the clutch for vehicles with a
manual transmission. Allow the vehicle
to roll forward approximately 3 ft (1 m).
If the system is mechanically blocked or if
the system detects a mechanical shift
block at speed after two-wheel drive high
(2H) has been selected, a message can
appear momentarily indicating that
four-wheel drive is unable to disengage.
One or more of the following actions can
relieve the mechanical shift block:
• Momentary acceleration.
• Momentary braking.
• Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
• Shifting the transmission to neutral (N)
and back to drive (D).
• Shifting the transmission to reverse(R)
and back to drive (D).
• Driving the vehicle around a tight turn
at a slow speed.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS - RAPTOR
Do not use four-wheel drive high (4H) or
four-wheel drive low (4L) mode on dry,
hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and
damage drive components.
4H or 4L mode is only for use on
consistently slippery or loose surfaces. Use
of 4L mode on these surfaces could
produce some noise, such as occasional
clunks, but should not damage drive
components.
Operating Four-Wheel Drive with
a Spare or Mismatched Tires
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of
the spare tire can affect the four-wheel
drive system.
If there is a significant difference between
the size of the spare tire and the remaining
tires, you could have limited four-wheel
drive functionality, added noise, discomfort
and driveline damage.
Due to normal tire wear, your spare tire is
not necessarily the same size as your
on-road tires, which makes your spare tire
a dissimilar size. Use the spare tire on a
limited basis only.
When driving with a dissimilar wheel and
tire assembly do not:
• Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) when
operating in a four-wheel drive mode.
• Select a four-wheel drive mode unless
the vehicle is stationary.
• Use a four-wheel drive mode on dry
pavement.
You could have limited four-wheel drive
functionality when driving with a dissimilar
wheel and tire assembly, especially when
driving in a mechanically locked four-wheel
drive mode. You can experience the
following:
• Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.
• Difficulty shifting in and out of a
mechanically locked four-wheel drive
mode.
• Driveline component damage.
Note: When driving with a spare tire, do not
switch on four-wheel drive mode unless you
need to get your vehicle unstuck.
Immediately after getting your vehicle
unstuck, shift to 2H.
