Shifting Procedures
4WD HI To 4WD LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
press the “4WD LOW” button once on the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW”
indicator light in the instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when
the shift is complete.
4WD LOW To 4WD HI
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and
press the “4WD LOW” button once on the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW”
indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash and turn off when the shift is
complete.
NOTE:
• If the shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature
protection exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below 5 mph (8 km/h) Put Trans in N Press
4 Low” message will flash on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely stopped;
however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly
aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph
(0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case
will not allow the shift.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspension, ensure the vehicle is set
to Normal Ride Height.
5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for four seconds. The light
behind the N symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A “FOUR
WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the EVIC
(Electronic Vehicle Information Center).
6. After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL (N) light stays on, release the
NEUTRAL (N) button.

transfer case 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 transfer case.
• 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 transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL
(N). Otherwise, internal damage will result.
• Failure to follow these procedures can cause severe transmission and/or
transfer case 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.
Shifting Into NEUTRAL (N)
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspension, ensure the vehicle is set

PADDLE SHIFT MODE
Paddle Shift Mode is a driver-interactive transmission feature that offers manual gear
shifting to provide you with more control of the vehicle. Paddle Shift Mode allows you
to maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and
improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations.
Refer to the “Starting And Operating” section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual on
the DVD for further details.
Paddle Shift Mode Operation
When the shift lever is in the DRIVE position, the transmission will operate
automatically, shifting between the five available gears. To engage Paddle Shift
Mode, simply tap the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position,
or tap one of the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter
Paddle Shift Mode will downshift the transmission to the next lower gear, while using
(+) to enter Paddle Shift Mode will retain the current gear.
When Paddle Shift mode is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the
instrument cluster. In Paddle Shift Mode, the transmission will shift up or down when
(+/-) is manually selected by the driver (using the shift lever, or the shift paddles),
unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the
selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described
below:
• Normally, in Paddle Shift Mode, the transmission will automatically shift up when
maximum engine speed is reached. If, however, Paddle Shift Mode is engaged
while in SPORT mode, the transmission will remain in the selected gear even when
maximum engine speed is reached. The transmission will upshift only when
commanded by the driver.
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent
engine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle
is accelerated.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting
in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• If a requested downshift would cause the engine to over-speed, that shift will not
occur.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.

• Avoid using speed control when Paddle Shift mode is engaged.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when Paddle Shift Mode is engaged.
• To disengage Paddle Shift Mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold
the (+) shift paddle until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You
can shift in or out of the Paddle Shift Mode at any time without taking your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
SELEC-TRACK™
Selec-Track™ combines the capabilities 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-Track™ positions:
•Sport- Dry weather, on-road calibration. Performance based tuning that provides
a rear wheel drive feel but with improved handling and acceleration over a
two-wheel drive vehicle. The active suspension system will be in a semi firm mode,
and a green flag will light up in the instrument cluster.
•Snow- Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow.
•Auto- Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. This position balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide
improved handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles.
•Track- This position offers track road calibration for use on high traction surfaces.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces.
•To w- Use this mode for towing. Vehicle suspension will go to Firm mode and peak
power will be limited in the engine controls.
