3. Move the 4WD control to the desired position.
The message center will display4X4 SHIFT IN PROGRESSduring the
shift. The message center will then display the system mode selected.
If any of the above shift conditions are not met, the shift will not occur
and the message center will display information guiding the driver
through the proper shifting procedures.
If 4X4 SHIFT IN PROGRESS is displayed for more than five
seconds, transfer case gear tooth blockage is present. To alleviate
this condition, move the vehicle forward approximately five feet
(2 meters). If a blocked shift remains present, reset the 4X4
mode select switch to the desired mode. The system will
reattempt a shift.
Note:Some noise may be heard as the system shifts or engages; this is
normal.
Electronic locking differential (ELD) (if equipped)
The electronic locking differential (ELD) is a device housed in the rear
axle which allows both rear wheels to turn at the same speed. The ELD
can provide additional traction should the vehicle become stuck. The
ELD is electronically activated by the driver and can be shifted on the
fly. It is intended for use in mud, rocks, sand, or any off-road condition
where maximum traction is needed. It is not intended for use on dry
pavement.
The ELD is affected by the following conditions:
•The 4WD control must be in either 4H or 4L mode.
•The ELD will not engage if the vehicle speed is above 20 mph
(30 km/h) in 4X4 High or 56 mph (90 km/h) in 4X4 Low.
•In 4X4 High, the ELD will disengage at speeds above 25 mph
(40 km/h) and will automatically reengage at speeds below 20 mph
(30 km/h).
•In 4X4 Low, the ELD will disengage at speeds above 62 mph
(100 km/h) and will automatically reengage at speeds below 56 mph
(90 km/h).
•The ELD will not engage if one wheel is spinning 9 mph (15 km/h)
faster than the other.
The ELD is designed for off-road use only.
