Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

Note: The information display may show messages during 4WD operation. See Information Messages (page 119). Your 4X4 control is located in one of the following locations: • On the instrument panel. • On the DRIVEMODE selection switch. 2H (4X2) Delivers power to the rear wheels only. The information display momentarily shows 2H when this mode is selected. This mode is appropriate for normal on-road driving on dry pavement and provides the best fuel economy. Note: 2H may turn on or off automatically based on Drive Mode selection. See Drive Control (page 251). 4A (4X4 AUTO) Provides electronic controlled four-wheel drivewith power delivered to the front and rear wheels, as required, for increased traction. The Information Display will display 4Awhen thismode is selected. The system continuously monitors road conditions, driver's input as well as other vehicle sensors andoptimizes the system's behavior based on drive mode selection. Note: 4A may turn on or off automatically based on Drive Mode selection. See Drive Control (page 251). 4H (4X4 HIGH) Provides electronically locked four-wheel drive power to front and rear wheels. The information display will display 4H when this mode is selected. This mode is not recommended for use on dry pavement. This mode is only intended for severe winter or off-road conditions, such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand.

Note: 4H may turn on or off automatically based on Drive Mode selection. In certain configurations, 4H-like functionality is contained within specific off-road Drive Modes evenwhen the indicator lamp shows 4A. See Drive Control (page 251). 4L (4X4 LOW) Provides electronically locked four-wheel drive power to both the front and rear wheels with additional gearing for increased torque multiplication. Intended only for off-road applications such as deep sand, steep grades, or pulling heavy objects. 4L (4X4 low)will not engagewhile your vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h); this is normal and should be no reason for concern. Refer to Shifting to or from 4L (4X4 low) for proper operation. Note: 4L may turn off automatically based onDriveMode selection. See DriveControl (page 251). Shifting Between 4WD SystemModes Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator pedal while a shift in progress message displays improves engagement and disengagement performance. Note: Do not perform this operation if the rear wheels are slipping. Note: Some noise may be heard as the system shifts or engages; this is normal. You can change between 2H to 4A or 4H at a stop or while driving. The information display may display a message indicating a 4X4 shift is in progress and the LED light for the selected mode flashes. Once the shift is complete the information display shows the systemmode selected and the LED light for the selectedmode turns solid. Shifting To or From4L (4X4 LOW) Note: 4L mode is not intended for use on dry pavement.
