Locking Rear
Axle
(If
Equipped)
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.
Four-wheel Drive
If
your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your
engine’s driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction.
To
get the most satisfaction out
of
four-wheel
drive,
you
must be familiar with its operation. Read the
part that follows before using four-wheel drive. You
should
use
2-WHEEL
HIGH
(2H)
for most normal
driving conditions.
I
NOTICE:
Driving in the
4-WHEEL
HIGH
(4H)
or
4-WHEEL
LOW
(4L)
positions for a long time
on dry
or
wet pavement could shorten the life of
your vehicle’s drivetrain.
Front Axle Locking Feature
The front axle locks and unlocks automatically when
you shift the transfer case. Some delay for the axle to
lock or unlock is normal. If the outside temperature is
very hot, or the vehicle has been used under hard
driving conditions, there may be
a
slight delay for the
axle to unlock.
