FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

For important information regarding safe operation of this type

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

Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent 4WD System that

continuously monitors vehicle conditions and automatically adjusts the

power distribution between the front and rear wheels. It combines

transparent all-surface operation with highly capable four-wheel drive.

The 4WD 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 and winter driving.

During very extreme off-road events, the 4WD system has a heat

protection mode to protect itself from damage. If the system detects an

overheat condition, it will enter a locked mode. If the heat in the 4WD

system continues to rise in locked mode, it will disable itself. To exit heat

protection mode, simply stop the vehicle and allow it to cool for five

minutes with the key in the 3 (RUN) position.

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.

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.
