WARNING: If your vehicle is equipped with AWD, a spare tire of

a different size than the road tires should never be used. Such a

tire could make the vehicle difficult to control as well as result in

damage to driveline components.

WARNING: Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not

designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any

more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily

under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in

these vehicles.

Normal operation (4.0L engine vehicles only)

The AWD system is always active and requires no driver input. It is

capable of handling all road conditions, including street and highway

driving as well as off-road conditions such as deep snow, ice or shallow

sand.

Normal operation (4.6L engine vehicles only)

During normal operation the AWD system is in AWD AUTO mode (AWD

LOCKED will illuminate in the message center for four seconds when

you first start your vehicle). The 4X4 indicator in the instrument cluster

will also come on.

For instructions on selecting the AWD LOCKED mode, refer to Message

center in the Driver Controls chapter. This mode is not intended for use

on dry pavement. This mode is appropriate for severe winter or off-road

conditions such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand. The use of AWD

LOCKED on dry or hard surfaces may produce some noise, such as

occasional clunks, but will not damage the drive system.

Autolock operation (4.6L engine vehicles only)

If the AWD system begins to overheat, the system will place itself in the

Autolock mode:

• AWD LOCKED will be displayed in the message center for four

seconds and the 4x4 indicator light will illuminate in the instrument

cluster. A warning chime will also sound. This condition may clear

without any action being taken by the driver once the AWD system

has reached a safe operating temperature.

• The 4X4 indicator light in the instrument cluster will turn off when

the AWD system reaches a safe operating temperature and normal

AWD operation is restored.
