FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
1–SPEED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4X4)
• This feature provides on-demand
Four-Wheel Drive (4X4) 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 in-
put (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 (4X4)
•This electronically shifted Power Trans-
fer Unit provides three mode positions:
• Four-wheel drive low range
(4X4 LOW)
• REAR LOCK
• NEUTRAL (N)
• The 4X4 LOW range can be used when
additional traction is required to force
the front and rear wheels to rotate at
the same speed.
• 4X4 LOW is intended for loose, slip-
pery road surfaces only.
NOTE:
In 4X4 LOW the engine speed is approxi-
mately 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).

9. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install lug bolts with the
cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the bolts.
10. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left, and remove the jack.
11. Finish tightening the lug bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug bolts in a star pattern until each
nut has been tightened twice. The correct wheel bolt tightness is 100 ft lb
(135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
12. Lower the jack to it's fully closed position.
13. Secure the tire, jack, and tools in their proper locations.
14. Remove chocks from wheels.
Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug bolts with the threaded end of the bolt toward the wheel.
Lightly tighten the lug bolts.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.
4. Finish tightening the lug bolts. Push down on the wrench while at the end of the
handle for increased leverage. Tighten the lug bolts in a star pattern until each
bolt has been tightened twice. The correct tightness of each lug bolt is 100 ft/lbs
(135 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or service station.
5. After 25 miles (40 km) check the lug bolt torque with a torque wrench to ensure
that all lug bolts are properly seated against the wheel.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
