Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case or power

transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow you to select different drive modes as

necessary. Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures

can be found in the Driving chapter. Information on transfer case

maintenance can be found in the Maintenance and Specifications

chapter. You should become thoroughly familiar with this information

before you operate your vehicle.

On some 4WD models, the initial shift from two-wheel drive to 4WD

while the vehicle is moving can cause a momentary clunk and ratcheting

sound. These sounds are normal as the front drivetrain comes up to

speed and is not cause for concern.

WARNING: Do not become overconfident in the ability of 4WD

and AWD vehicles. Although a 4WD or AWD vehicle may

accelerate better than two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction

situations, it won’t stop any faster than two-wheel drive vehicles.

Always drive at a safe speed.

How your vehicle differs from other vehicles

SUV and trucks can differ from

some other vehicles in a few

noticeable ways. Your vehicle may

be:

• Higher – to allow higher load

carrying capacity and to allow it

to travel over rough terrain

without getting hung up or

damaging underbody components.

• Shorter – to give it the capability

to approach inclines and drive

over the crest of a hill without

getting hung up or damaging

underbody components. All other

things held equal, a shorter

wheelbase may make your vehicle

quicker to respond to steering inputs than a vehicle with a longer

wheelbase.
