Four-Position Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Eight Speed
Transmission Only) — If Equipped
This is an electronic shift transfer case and is operated by the 4WD Control Switch
(Transfer Case Switch), which is located on the instrument panel.
This electronically shifted transfer case
provides four mode positions:
• Two-Wheel Drive High Range (2WD)
• Four-Wheel Drive Lock High Range
(4WD LOCK)
• Four-Wheel Drive Low Range (4WD
LOW)
• Neutral (NEUTRAL)
For additional information on the appro-
priate use of each transfer case mode
position, see the information below:
2WD
Rear-Wheel Drive High Range — This
range is for normal street and highway
driving on dry hard surfaced roads.
4WD LOCK
Four-Wheel Drive Lock High Range —
This range maximizes torque to the front driveshaft, forcing the front and rear wheels
to rotate at the same speed. Additional traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range provides low speed four-wheel drive. It
maximizes torque to the front driveshaft, forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate
at the same speed. This range provides additional traction and maximum pulling
power for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NEUTRAL (N)
Neutral — This range disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the
powertrain. To be used for flat towing behind another vehicle. Refer to “Recreational
Towing” in “Starting And Operating” in your Owner’s Manual located on the DVD for
further information.
This electronically shifted transfer case is designed to be driven in the two–wheel
drive position (2WD) for normal street and highway conditions on dry hard surfaced
roads). Driving the vehicle in 2WD will have greater fuel economy benefits as the
front axle is not engaged in 2WD.
