the center console. This outlet can
power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
• Press the switch located in the switch bank on the lower instrument panel to
turn the power inverter on. The
indicator light will turn on to indicate
the inverter is producing AC power.
• Press the switch again to turn the power inverter off. The indicator light will turn off.
NOTE: The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once
the electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should
automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power
inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the
device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on
electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do not use a three-prong adaptor. Do not
insert any objects into the receptacles. Do not touch with wet hands. Close the
lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
• This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which providesconvenient full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake
Traction Control (BTC) System, which combines standard ABS and Traction
Control, provides resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque
transfer to wheels with traction.
NOTE: This system is not appropriate for conditions where AWD LOW range is
recommended. Refer to “Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the
DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Three-Position Switch)
• This is an electronic shift transfer case and is operated by the AWD Control
Switch (Transfer Case Switch), which is
located on the center console.
• This electronically shifted transfer case provides three mode positions:
• All-wheel drive automatic range (AWD AUTO)
• All-wheel drive low range (LOW RANGE)
• Neutral (NEUTRAL)
• When additional traction is required, the LOW RANGE position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed. The LOW RANGE position are designed for loose, slippery road
surfaces only. Driving in the LOW RANGE positions on dry hard surfaced roads may
cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components.
• When operating your vehicle in LOW RANGE, the engine speed is approximately three times that of the AWD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to
overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE: The “SERV AWD Warning Light” monitors the electronic shift all-wheel drive
system. If this light remains on after engine start up or illuminates during driving, it
means that the all-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is
required.

Shifting Procedures
AWD AUTO To LOW RANGE
NOTE: When shifting into or out of LOW RANGE some gear noise may be heard. This
noise is normal and is not detrimental to the vehicle or occupants.
• Shifting can be performed with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) orcompletely stopped. Use either of the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure • With the engine running, slow the vehicle to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
• Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• While still rolling, rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position.
• After the desired position indicator light is ON (not flashing), shift the transmissionback into gear.
Alternate Procedure • Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
• With the ignition switch in the ON position and the engine either OFF or running,shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position.
• After the desired position indicator light is ON (not flashing), shift the transmission back into gear.
NOTE:
• If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred or Alternate Procedure are not satisfied prior to attempting the shift or if they no longer are being met while the shift attempt is in
process, the desired position indicator light will flash continuously while the original
position indicator light is ON, until all requirements have been met.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON position for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the ON
position, then the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on
or flashing.
WARNING!
• Always engage the parking brake when powering down the vehicle if the“SERV AWD Warning Light” is illuminated. Not engaging the parking brake
may allow the vehicle to roll which may cause personal injury.
• You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the
parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front
and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move
regardless of the transmission position. The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the vehicle.
