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.
When additional traction is required, the
transfer
case 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW
positions can be used to maximize torque to
the front driveshaft, forcing the front and
rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This
is accomplished by pushing the desired posi
-
tion on the 4WD control switch.
Refer to “Shifting Procedure” in the
“
Starting
And Operating” section of your
Owner’s Manual for specific shifting instruc
-
tions.
Five-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.
Five-Position/On-Demand Transfer Case —
Eight Speed Transmission Only
This electronically shifted transfer case
provides
five mode positions:
Two-Wheel Drive High Range (2WD)
Four-Wheel Drive Automatic High Range
(4WD AUTO)
Four-Wheel Drive High Range (4WD
HIGH)
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range (4WD LOW)
Neutral (NEUTRAL)
For additional information on the appropriate
use of ea
ch transfer case mode position, see
the information below:
2WD
Rear-Wheel Drive High Range — This range
is for no
rmal street and highway driving on
dry, hard-surfaced roads.
4WD AUTO
Four-Wheel Drive Auto High Range — This
range sen
ds power to the front wheels auto-
matically when the vehicle senses a loss of
t
raction.
This range is used during varying
road conditions.
4WD HIGH
Four-Wheel Drive High Range — This range
provides
torque to the front driveshaft
(engages four-wheel drive) which allows front
and rear wheels to spin at the same speed.
This provides additional traction for loose
and/or slippery road surfaces.
4WD LOW
Four-Wheel Drive Low Range — This range
provides
low speed four-wheel drive. It maxi-
mizes torque (increased torque over 4WD
H
IGH) to
the front driveshaft; allowing front
and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
