FOUR WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
FOUR-POSITION/PART TIME TRANSFER CASE
The transfer case provides four mode
positions:
• Two-wheel drive high range (2WD)
• Four-wheel drive high range (4WDLOCK)
• NEUTRAL (N)
•
Four-wheel drive low range (4WD LOW)
This transfer case is intended to be driven
in the 2WD position for normal street and
highway conditions, such as dry, hard-
surfaced roads.
When additional traction is required, the
4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW positions can
be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
Shifting Procedure
Shifting between 2WD and 4WD LOCK can be made with the vehicle stopped or in
motion at speeds up to 55 mph (88 km/h).
Shifting between 2WD or 4WD LOCK into 4WD LOW must be made with the transmis-
sion in NEUTRAL and the vehicle stopped or rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
NOTE:
It is preferred to have the engine running and the vehicle moving at 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h).
WARNING!
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 transmis-
sion position. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not
in the vehicle.

•
Four-wheel drive automatic range (4WD
AUTO)
• Four-wheel drive lock range (4WD LOCK)
•
Four-wheel drive low range (4WD LOW)
• NEUTRAL (N)
This electronically shifted transfer case is
designed to be driven in the two-wheel
drive position (2WD) or four-wheel drive
position (4WD AUTO) for normal street and
highway conditions on dry, hard-surfaced
roads.
Driving the vehicle in 2WD will have greater fuel economy benefits as the front axle
is not engaged in 2WD.
Shifting Procedure
Shifting between 2WD and 4WD AUTO or 4WD LOCK can be made with the vehicle
stopped or in motion at speeds up to 55 mph (88 km/h).
Shifting between 2WD, 4WD AUTO and 4WD LOCK into 4WD LOW must be made
with the transmission in NEUTRAL and the vehicle stopped or rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h).
NOTE:
It is preferred to have the engine running and the vehicle moving at 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h).

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc., andfrequent transmission shifting occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch to select
TOW/HAUL mode. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for
transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, transmission upshifts are delayed, and the transmission will
automatically downshift (for engine braking) during steady braking maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to
indicate that TOW/HAUL mode has
been activated. Pressing the switch a
second time restores normal operation.
If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the
switch must be pressed each time the
engine is started.
INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE MODULE
The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller allows you to automatically or manually
activate the Electric Trailer Brakes and Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes for a
better braking performance when towing a trailer.
NOTE:
The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller is located in the center stack below the
climate controls.
This module will have four different options depending on the type of trailer you want
to tow and can be selected through the 3.5” Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or touchscreen radio.
• Light Electric
• Heavy Electric
• Light EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)
• Heavy EOH (Electric Over Hydraulic)
