Using the electronic shift 4x4 system

AUTO- Full power to front wheels, at all times; power to the rear wheels

as required by driving conditions. Used for street and highway driving.

ON- Full power to all wheels, at all times. Used for severe conditions

such as deep snow, deep sand or icy roads. Not intended for use on dry

(or merely wet) pavement.

• Do not operate the vehicle in the ON mode on dry or merely

wet pavement. Doing so will produce excessive noise, increase

tire wear and may damage driveline components. The 4x4 ON

mode is intended for use only on consistently slippery or loose

surfaces.

If your vehicle is equipped with the 4x4 system, a spare tire of a

different diameter than the road tires should never be used.

Such a tire could result in damage to driveline components and make

the vehicle difficult to control.

Shifting between 4x4 Auto and ON modes

You can move the 4x4 control between AUTO and ON whenever needed.

Driving off-road with truck and utility vehicles

4x4 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.

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.
