The power outlets are labeled with either a
“key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate how
the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled
with a “key” are powered when the ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC position,
while the outlets labeled with a “battery” are
connected directly to the battery and pow-

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides conve-
nient 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 pro-
vides three mode positions:
• All-wheel drive automatic range (AWDAUTO)
• 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 sur-
faced 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.

1. Lift upward on the access cover, located in the rear portion of the center console torelease it from the console hinges.
2.
Using a screwdriver or similar tool, push
the metal latch in towards the tether strap.
3. While the metal latch is in the open posi- tion, simultaneously pull upwards on the
tether strap until it clicks and releases
out of the park position.
NOTE:
To prevent the vehicle from rolling uninten-
tionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
To Disengage the Manual Park Release
Lever:
1.
Pull upward on the tether while pushing the
release latch towards the tether to unlock
the lever.
2.Once the tension has been released and
the lever has been unlocked, push the lever
all the way down to be sure it is stowed
properly and locks into position.
3. Reinstall the access cover by pushing it downward until it is locked into place.

CAUTION!
• When installing the power distribution center cover, it is important to ensure the
cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get
into the power distribution center and possibly result in an electrical system failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a
dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it
indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
