3. Move the 4x4 control to the 4x4

HIGH or 2WD position.

4. Hold the shift conditions until the

4x4 LOW indicator light shuts off.

5. If the 4x4 LOW indicator light

does not shut off within 15

seconds, allow the vehicle to move

at a speed below 5 mph (8 km/h),

then repeat steps 2 through 5 while

the vehicle is rolling before

reporting any shift concerns to your authorized dealer.

Driving off-road with truck and utility vehicles

4WD vehicles are specially equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud and

rough terrain and have operating characteristics that are somewhat

different from conventional vehicles, both on and off the road.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a long front air dam that may become

damaged (due to reduced ground clearance) when taking your vehicle

off-road. This air dam can either be removed or a shorter air dam can be

purchased from your authorized dealer. In either case, if the air dam is

to be removed (or replaced) before going off-road, refer to the

Workshop Manual for the procedure or have your authorized dealer

perform the work for you.

How your vehicle differs from other vehicles

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.

You should either know the terrain or examine maps of the area before

driving. Map out your route before driving in the area. To maintain

steering and braking control of your vehicle, you must have all four

wheels on the ground and they must be rolling, not sliding or spinning.
