2-Speed Four-Wheel Drive (4x4) If
Equipped
The Four-Wheel Drive is fully automatic in
the normal driving mode. The Selec-Terrain
buttons provide three selectable mode posi-
tions:
4WD LOW
REAR LOCK (If Equipped)
NEUTRAL
When additional traction is required, the
4WD LOW range position can be used to
provide an additional gear reduction which
allows for increased torque to be delivered to
both the front and rear wheels. 4WD LOW is
intended for loose, slippery road surfaces
only. Driving in 4WD LOW on dry, hard-
surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear
and damage to driveline components.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW,
the engine speed is approximately three
times that of the normal driving mode at a
given road speed. Take care not to overspeed
the engine and do not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h).
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles
depends on tires of equal size, type, and
circumference on each wheel. Any difference
will adversely affect shifting and cause dam-
age to the driveline components.
Because four-wheel drive provides improved
traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe
turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster
than road conditions permit.
