Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Transfer Case
If your four-wheel
drive vehicle has the
electronic transfer
case, the transfer case
switches are on the
right side of your
instrument panel
above
the radio
controls.
Use these switches to shift into and out
of four-wheel drive. You can choose
among three driving settings:
2HI - This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations.
Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI - This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle.
Use 4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads,
or in most off-road situations.
4LO - This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra
traction. You may never need 4LO. It sends the maximum power to all
four wheels. You might choose
4LO if you were driving off-road in
sand, mud, deep snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
Amber indicator lights
in the switches show you which setting you are in.
The indicator lights will come on briefly when you turn on the ignition and
one will stay on. If the lights do not come on,
you should take your vehicle
in for service. When shifting,
an indicator light will flash until the shift is
completed then remain solidly lit.
To shift from 2HI to 4HI - Press and release the 4HI switch. This can be
done at any speed, and the front axle will lock automatically.
To shift from 4HI to 2HI - Press and release the 2HI switch. This can be
done at any speed, and the front axle will unlock automatically.
To shift from 2H1, or 4HI to 4LO - The vehicle must be stopped or
moving less than
3 mph (4.8 km/h) with the transmission in NEUTRAL (N)
in vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission or the clutch pedal
depressed
in vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. The preferred
method for shifting into
4LO is to have your vehicle slowly moving 1 to 2
mph (1.6 to 3.2 km/h). Press and release the 4LO switch. You must wait for
the amber
4LO indicator light to stop flashing and go solid amber before
shifting your transmission into gear or releasing the clutch pedal.

How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
want to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
r
Step lightly on
the brake pedal
or
push the clutch
pedal,
if you have
a manual
transmission.
Move the Cruise
switch to
OFF.
To Erase Speed Memory
When you turn off the Cruise Control or the ignition, your Cruise Control
set speed memory
is erased.

control switches are

ratically. If
it does, CAL (Calibration) will appear
on the display. To correct the
problem, drive in a complete
360" circle three times, and the compass will

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You will see this light flash for a few seconds when you turn your ignition
to
RUN or START. Then the light should go out. This means the system is
ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you start your vehicle,
or stays on,
or comes on when you are driving, your air bag system may not
work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into two parts. If one part
isn’t working, the other part can still work and stop
you. For good braking,
though, you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on briefly
as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t come
on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully. You may notice that the pedal
is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop.
If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in
the Index.)
