Locking Rear Axle (If Equipped)
If
you
have this feature, your locking 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, this feature will allow the wheel with
traction
to
move the vehicle.
Four-wheel Drive (If Equipped)
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, push the 4HI or 4LO button
on
the
transfer case switch. You should use 2HI for
most
normal driving conditions.
NOTICE:
Driving in the
4HI
or
4LO
positions for
a
long
time on dry or wet pavement could shorten the
life of your vehicle’s drivetrain.
Electronic Transfer Case
(If
Equipped)
If
your four-wheel-drive
vehicle has the electronic
transfer case, the transfer
case switches are above the
radio controls.
Use these
si
witch es
t
os hift
into
and
01
ut
of
four-wheel
drive. You can choose among three driving settings:
2HI:
This setting is for driving
in
most street and
highway situations. Your front axle
is
not
engaged
in
two-wheel drive. When this
lamp
is lit,
it
is about
one-half as bright as the others.
4HI:
This setting engages your front axle to help
drive your vehicle. Use
4HI
when you need extra
traction, such
as
on
snowy or icy roads, or
in
most
off-road situations.
