ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides
convenient 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 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-wheeldriveautomaticrange(AWD
AUTO)
•All-wheeldrivelowrange(LOWRANGE)
•Neutral(NEUTRAL)
When additional traction is required, the
LOW RANGE position can be used to lock
the front and rear driveshafts together forc-
ing 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 surfaced roads may cause in-
creased tire wear and damage to the drive-
line 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.

Recreational Towing — Rear-Wheel Drive Models
DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the drivetrain will result.
Recreational towing (for two-wheel drive models) is allowedONLYif the rear wheels areOFF
the ground. This may be accomplished using a tow dolly or vehicle trailer. If using a tow
dolly, follow this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle, following the dolly manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Drive the rear wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Firmly apply the parking brake. Shift the transmission into PARK.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
5. Properly secure the rear wheels to the dolly, following the dolly manufacturer’s
instructions.
6. Install a suitable clamping device, designed for towing, to secure the front wheels in
the straight position.
CAUTION!

Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Recreational Towing — All-Wheel Drive Models (Single-Speed Transfer Case)
Recreational towing is not allowed.These models do not have a NEUTRAL (N) position in
the transfer case.
NOTE:
This vehicle may be towed on a flatbed or vehicle trailer provided all four wheels are
OFFthe ground.

transfer case in the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engaging the parking
brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL (N) position disengages both the front and rear
driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to roll, even if the transmis-
sion is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in
the vehicle.
Use the following procedure to prepare your vehicle for recreational towing.
CAUTION!
It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in
NEUTRAL (N) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
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.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 appear in the Driver Information Display (DID). Refer to “Driver Information
Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Ti r e p r e s s u r e s c h a n g e b y a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 p s i ( 7 k P a ) p e r 1 2 ° F ( 7 ° C ) o f a i r t e m p e r a t u r e
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is
32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your
vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is
at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the
light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal
pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated
by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
