CtroniC ShiFt 4Wd SYS tem*
The electronic shift 4WD system allows you to
choose between 2WD, 4x4 AUTO*, 4x4 HIGH
or 4x4 LOW.
2h (2Wd) sends power to the rear wheels only
and should be used for street and highway driving.
Provides optimal smoothness and fuel economy
at high speeds.
4a (4x4 a Uto)* provides electronic control
four-wheel drive with power delivered to the
front and rear wheels, as required, for increased
traction. This is appropriate for all on-road driving
conditions, including dry road surfaces, but is
especially useful on wet pavement, snow, dirt
or gravel.
4h (4x4 high) helps provide extra traction
while driving in snow or on icy roads or off road
situations. This mode is not intended for use on
dry pavement.
4l (4x4 lo W) uses extra gearing to provide
maximum power to all four wheels at reduced
speeds. Intended only for off-road applications
such as deep sand, steep grades or pulling heavy
objects. 4L (4x4 LOW) will not engage while the
vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h); this is
normal and should be no reason for concern.
Refer to Shifting to or from 4L (4x4 LOW) in the
Four-Wheel Drive chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for proper operation.
