Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Transfer Case (Option)
If your four-wheel-drive
vehicle has the electronic
transfer case, the transfer case switches are 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.
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.
An indicator light will flash while shifting. It will
remain illuminated when
the shift is completed.
Shifting from 2HI to 4HI
Press and release the 4HI switch. This can be done at
any speed, and the front axle will lock automatically.
Shifting from 4HI to 2HI

You’re driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps
out in
front of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here’s what happens with ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one
of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will
separately work the brakes
at each front wheel and at the
rear wheels. The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster
than any driver could. The computer
is programmed to
make the most
of available tire and road conditions.
You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
