ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION
CENTER (EVIC)
•The EVIC features a driver interactive
display that is located in the instrument
cluster. Pushing the controls on the left
side of the steering wheel allows the
driver to select vehicle information and
Personal Settings. For additional infor-
mation, refer to Programmable Features
in this guide.
•Push and release theUPbutton to
scroll upward through the main
menus (MPH/km/h, Vehicle Info, Fuel
Economy, Trip A, Trip B, Audio, Stored
Messages, Screen Set Up).
• Push and release the DOWN
but-
ton to scroll downward through the
main menu and submenus (MPH/
km/h, Vehicle Info, Fuel Economy, Trip A, Trip B, Audio, Stored Messages, Screen
Set Up).
• Push and release the RIGHT
button to access the information screens or
sub-menu screens of a main menu item.
• Push the BACK/LEFT
button to access the information screens or sub-menu
screens of a main menu item.
• Push the OKbutton to access/select the information screens or sub-menu screens
of a main menu item. Push and hold the OK arrow button for two seconds to reset
displayed/selected features that can be reset.
Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will
display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed
in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
1–SPEED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
• This feature provides on-demandFour-Wheel Drive (4WD) with no driver
inputs or additional driving skills re-
quired.
• Under normal driving conditions, the front wheels provide most of the trac-
tion.
• If the front wheels begin to lose trac- tion, power is shifted automatically to
the rear wheels.
NOTE:
On dry pavement under heavy throttle
input (where one may have no wheel
spin), torque will be sent to the rear
wheels to improve vehicle launch and
performance characteristics.
2–SPEED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
•This electronically shifted Power Trans-
fer Unit provides three mode positions:
• Four-wheel drive low range (4WD
LOW)
• REAR LOCK
• NEUTRAL (N)
• The 4WD LOW range can be used when additional traction is required to
force the front and rear wheels to ro-
tate at the same speed.
• 4WD LOW is intended for loose, slip- pery road surfaces only.
NOTE:
In 4WD LOW the engine speed is approximately three times that of the normal driving
mode at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h).
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES
131

• The Rear E-Locker System must be disengaged prior to taking the vehicle out of4WD LOW range. If 4WD LOW shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a message
will flash from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) with instructions
on how to complete the requested shift.
SELEC-TERRAIN™
• Selec-Terrain™ combines the capa-bilities of the vehicle control systems,
along with driver input, to provide the
best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select
the following Selec-Terrain™ positions:
• Auto — Fully automatic full time four-
wheel drive operation can be used on
and off road. Balances traction with
seamless steering feel to provide im-
proved handling and acceleration over
two-wheel drive vehicles.
• Snow — Tuning set for additional sta-
bility in inclement weather. Use on and
off road on loose traction surfaces such as snow. When in SNOW mode (depending
on certain operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather
than first gear) during launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
• Sport — This mode alters the transmission's automatic shift schedule for sportier
driving. Upshift speeds are increased to make full use of available engine power.
• Sand/Mud — Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as mud,
sand, or wet grass. Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt
on less forgiving surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit traction
control management of throttle and wheel spin.
• Rock — Off-road calibration only available in 4WD LOW range. Traction based
tuning with improved steer-ability for use on high traction off-road surfaces.
Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep downhill control. Use for low speed
obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
SPORT mode is not available when 4WD LOW is selected.

Recreational Towing — Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Models
•DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain will result.
• Recreational towing (for front-wheel drive models) is allowed ONLY if the front wheels are OFF the ground. This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle
trailer. If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:• Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
• Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.
• Apply the parking brake. Place the transmission in PARK.
• Properly secure the front wheels to the dolly, following the dolly manufacturer's instructions.
• Release the parking brake.
CAUTION!
Towing with the front wheels on the ground will cause severe transmission
damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe engine
and/or transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Recreational Towing — 4WD Models with 1-Speed Power Transfer Unit
• Recreational towing is not allowed. These models do not have a NEUTRAL (N)position in the power transfer unit.
NOTE:
This vehicle may be towed on a flatbed or vehicle trailer provided all four wheels are
OFF the ground.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle with ANYof its wheels on the ground can cause severe
transmission and/or power transfer unit damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Recreational Towing — 4WD Models with 2-Speed Power Transfer Unit
• The power transfer unit must be shifted into NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission must be in PARK for recreational towing. The NEUTRAL (N) selection button is
adjacent to the power transfer unit selector switch. Shifts into and out of
NEUTRAL (N) can take place with the selector switch in any mode position.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Internal damage to the transmission or
power transfer unit will occur if a dolly is used when recreational towing.
• Tow only in a forward direction. Towing this vehicle backwards can cause severe
damage to the power transfer unit.
• The transmission must be in PARK for recreational towing.
• Before recreational towing, perform the procedure outlined under “Shifting
into NEUTRAL (N)” to be certain that the power transfer unit is fully in
NEUTRAL (N). Otherwise, internal damage will result.
• Failure to follow these procedures can cause severe transmission and/or power
transfer unit damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper
face bar will be damaged.
