To exit ERS mode, simply push and hold the “+” button
until the gear limit display disappears from the instru-
ment cluster.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a
slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
When to Use TOW/HAUL Mode
Select TOW/HAUL mode when driving in conditions
such as: driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a
heavy load, etc. This mode will improve performance
and reduce the potential for transmission overheating
or failure due to excessive shifting.
The TOW/HAUL Indicator Light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster to indicate that TOW/HAUL mode
has been activated. Pushing the switch a second time
restores normal operation. Normal operation is always
the default at engine start-up. If TOW/HAUL mode is
desired, the switch must be pushed each time the
engine is started.
WARNING!
Do not use the “TOW/HAUL” feature when driving in
icy or slippery conditions. The increased engine brak-
ing can cause the rear wheels to slide, and the
vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of
vehicle control, which may cause an accident possibly
resulting in personal injury or death.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
QUADRA-TRAC I OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS/PRECAUTIONS —
IF EQUIPPED
The Quadra-Trac I is a single-speed (HI range only)
transfer case, which provides convenient full-time four-
wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake
Traction Control (BTC) System, which combines stan-
dard ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance to
any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque
transfer to wheels with traction.
NOTE:
The Quadra-Trac I system is not appropriate for condi-
tions where 4WD LOW range is recommended
page 179.
QUADRA-TRAC II OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS/PRECAUTIONS —
IF EQUIPPED
The Quadra-Trac II transfer case is fully automatic in the
normal driving 4WD HI mode. The Quadra-Trac II trans-
fer case provides three positions:
•
4WD HI
•
N (Neutral)
•
4WD LOW
When additional traction is required, the 4WD LOW
position can be used for increased torque at the
wheels. Driving in the 4WD LOW position on dry, hard-
surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and
damage to driveline components.
