POWER INVERTER
•A 115 Volt, 150 Watt AC power inverter
is located on the front of the center
console.
• This outlet can power cellular phones,
electronics and other low power de-
vices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
• The power inverter switch is located on
the instrument panel below the cli-
mate controls. To turn on the power
outlet, press the switch once. The in-
dicator light will illuminate. Press the
switch a second time to turn the power
inverter outlet off.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the
electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically
reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have
to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in
again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior
to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.

for use with a standard power outlet adapter.
• The center console 12 Volt power out-
let is powered directly from the battery
(power available at all times). Items
plugged into this outlet may discharge
the battery and/or prevent the engine
from starting.
• On vehicles equipped with a rear sub-
woofer, there is also a 12 Volt power
outlet located in the rear cargo area
of the vehicle . This power outlet has
power available directly from the bat-
tery (power available at all times).

NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.

object in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.

COMMAND-TRAC®/ROCK-TRAC®
The transfer case provides four mode
positions: 2H (Two-wheel drive high
range), 4H (Four-wheel drive high range),
N (Neutral), and 4L (Four-wheel drive low
range).
The transfer case is intended to be driven
in the 2H position for normal street and
highway conditions such as hard-surfaced
roads.
Shifting Between 2H And 4H
Shifting between 2H and 4H can be
made with the vehicle stopped or in mo-
tion. Shift the transfer case lever firmly to
4H at any speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Automatic Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL then shift the transfer
case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the
shift is completed, place the automatic transmission into DRIVE.
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Manual Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the transfer case lever firmly
to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the shift is completed,
release the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
To enhance off-road performance in 4L mode, manual transmission vehicles will start
regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is depressed.

• Manual transmissions must be placed in gear (not in Neutral) 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.
• Towing this vehicle in violation of the above requirements can cause severe
transmission and/or transfer case damage. Damage from improper towing is
not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
