All-Wheel Drive
(Option)
If
you skip
more
than one gear when you
downshift, you could lose control
of
your vehicle.
And
you
could injure yourself’
or
others. Don’t shift
down more than one gear when you downshift.
If
your vehicle has four-wheel drive and is equipped
with
a
manual transmission, disregard the shift light
when the transfer case
is
in
4LO.
Locking Rear Axle
If
you
have
this
feature, your rear axle can give you
additional traction
on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel.
It
works like a standard axle most
of
the time, but when
one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does,
the locking feature
will
allow the wheel with traction to
move the vehicle.
If
your vehicle has all-wheel drive, your engine’s
driving power is sent to all
four
wheels for extra
traction. This is like four-wheel drive, but there is no
lever or switch to engage
or
disengage the front axle.
It
is
fully
automatic and adjusts itself
as
needed
for
road conditions.
Four-wheel Drive (Option)
If
your
vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your
engine’s driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction. To shift out of two-wheel drive and
into
four-wheel drive, move the transfer case shift lever to
4HI
or
4LO.
You
should use 2HI for most normal
driving conditions.
NOTICE:
Driving in the
4HI
or
41,O
positions for a long
time on dry or wet pavement could shorten the
life
of
your vehicle’s drivetrain.
