Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

1. Bring the vehicle to a rolling speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less. 2. Place the gearshift in neutral (N). 3. Move the 4WD switch to the desired mode. The information display will display a message indicating a 4X4 shift is in progress. The information displaywill then display the systemmode selected. If any of the above shift conditions are not present, the shift will not occur and the informationdisplaywill display information guiding the driver through the proper shifting procedures. If the above conditions are not satisfied in 30 seconds, the system reverts back to the previous 4WDmode or drive mode. If Shift Delayed Pull Forward is displayed in the information display, transfer case gear tooth blockage is present. To alleviate this condition, place the transmission in a forward gear, move the vehicle forward approximately 5 ft (2 m), and shift the transmission back to neutral (N) to allow the transfer case to complete the range shift. Operating 4WD VehiclesWith Spare or Mismatched Tires On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of the spare tire can affect the 4X4 system. If there is a significant difference between the size of the spare tire and the remaining tires, you may have limited four-wheel drive functionality. When driving with the full-size dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly, it is recommended that you do not: • Exceed50mph (80km/h)witha4WD mode turned on. • Turn on a 4WD mode unless the vehicle is stationary. • Use a 4WD mode on dry pavement.

Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly may lead to impairment of the following: • Comfort and noise. • Winter weather driving capability. • Wet driving capability. • Four-wheel drive capability. HowYour Vehicle Differs From Other Vehicles WARNING Vehicles with a higher center of gravity (utility and four-wheel drive vehicles) handle differently than vehicles with a lower center of gravity (passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt steering in these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously increases the risk of losing control of your vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Truck and utility vehicles can differ from some other vehicles. Your vehicle may be higher to allow it to travel over rough terrain without getting hung up or damaging underbody components. The differences that make your vehicle so versatile also make it handle differently than an ordinary passenger car. Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel motion, make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes. Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as rocks and stumps.
