FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)

For important information regarding safe operation of this type

of vehicle, see Preparing to drive your vehicle in this chapter.

When Four–wheel drive (4WD) is engaged, power is supplied to all four

wheels through a transfer case. 4WD power can be selected when

additional driving power is desired.

If equipped with the Electronic Shift 4WD System, and the

instrument panel control is moved to 4WD Low while the vehicle

is moving, the system will not engage and no damage will occur to

the 4WD system. Before 4WD Low can be engaged, the vehicle

must be brought to a complete stop with the brake pedal

depressed and the transmission placed in neutral (or the clutch

pedal depressed on manual transmissions).

4WD operation is not recommended on dry pavement. Doing so could

result in difficult disengagement of the transfer case, increased tire wear

and decreased fuel economy.
