(Automatic Transmission)
It’s better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here
are some things to know.
If you have four-wheel drive and your transfer case is
in NEUTRAL (N),
your vehicle will be free
to roll, even if your shift lever is in PARK (P). So,
be sure the transfer case is in a drive gear - not in NEUTRAL (N). Always
set your parking brake. Follow the proper steps
to be sure your vehicle
won’t move. See “Shifting Into
PARK (P)” in the Index.
If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your engine’s driving
power to all four wheels for extra traction.
To get the most satisfaction out
of four-wheel drive, you must be familiar with its operation. Read the part
that follows before using four-wheel drive. You should use 2-WHEEL
HIGH (2H) for most normal driving conditions.
NOTICE:
Driving in the 4-WHEEL HIGH (4H) or &WHEEL LOW (4L)
positions for a long time on dry or wet pavement could shorten
the life of your vehicle’s drivetrain.
I NOTICE:
Changing your vehicle’s body height can damage your vehicle’s
suspension, drivetrain, or other vehicle components.
It may also
affect the way your vehicle handles, and the function of your
vehicle’s safety features. Do not change your vehicle’s height
from the original design specifications.
Transfer Case
The transfer case shift
lever is on the floor to
the right of the driver.
Use this lever to shift
into and out
of
four-wheel drive.
An indicator near the lever shows you the transfer case settings.
4-WHEEL LOW (4L)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The front axle portion
of
the indicator
diagram will light up
when you shift into
four-wheel drive.
Some delay between shifting and the indicator's lighting is normal.
If the
indicator light does
not light up, or if the front axle light does not go out
after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your dealer check your system.
When your headlamps or parking lamps are
on, rotate the thumb wheel next
to the headlamp switch up to brighten, or down to dim, your transfer case
indicator light.

2-WHEEL HIGH (2H)
This setting
is for driving in most street and highway situations. Your
front axle
is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4-WHEEL HIGH (4H)
This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use 4H
when
you need extra traction, such as on wet or icy roads, or in most
off-road situations.
NEUTRAL
(N)
Shift to this setting only when your vehicle needs to be towed or when
using
a power take-off.
4-WHEEL LOW (4L)
This setting
also engages your front axle to give you extra power, but
should be used only for off-road driving.
You can shift from 2-WHEEL HIGH (2H) to 4-WHEEL HIGH (4H) or
from 4-WHEEL HIGH (4H) to 2-WHEEL HIGH (2H) while the vehicle
is
moving. Your front axle will engage faster if you take your foot off of the
accelerator for
a few seconds after you shift. In extremely cold weather it
may be necessary to stop or slow the vehicle to shift out of 2-WHEEL
HIGH (2H).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To shift into or out of 4-WHEEL LOW (4L)or NEUTRAL (N):
0 Slow the vehicle to a roll, about 1-3 mph (2-5 kdh) and shift an
automatic transmission into neutral, or with a manual transmission
press the clutch pedal.
Shift the transfer case shift lever in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in NEUTRAL
(N) as you shift the transfer case into 4-WHEEL
LOW (4L), or your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in 4-WHEEL HIGH (4H) or 4-WHEEL LOW (4L)
may reduce fuel economy. Also, driving in four-wheel drive on dry
pavement could cause your tires to wear faster and make your transfer case
harder
to shift.
Front Axle Locking Feature
I ne front axle locks and unlocks automatically when you shift the transfer
case. Some delay for the axle to lock or unlock is normal. If the outside
temperature is very hot, or the vehicle has been used under hard driving
conditions, there may be a slight delay for the axle to unlock.
Windows
To open your manual
windows, turn the
hand crank on each
door to raise or lower
your side door
windows.

A CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely
at a steady speed. So, don’t use your cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such
roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t use cruise control
on slippery roads.
To Set Cruise Control
I Move the Cruise
Control switch
to
ON.
If you leave your cruise control switch on when you’re not using
cruise, you might hit
a button and go into cruise when you don’t
want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch
OFF until you want to use it.
Get up to the speed you want.
Push in the set button at the end of the lever and release it.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
