USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) (if equipped)
WARNING:For important information regarding safe operation
of this type of vehicle, see General Informationin theWheels
and Tires chapter.
Note: Do not use 4X4 mode on dry, hard surfaced roads. Doing so will
produce excessive noise, increase tire wear and may damage drive
components. 4X4 mode is only intended for consistently slippery or loose
surfaces.
Your 4x4 features the heavy-duty Control Trac® 4WD system which
includes a computer-operated transfer case. This unique system is
interactive with the road, continually monitoring and adjusting torque
delivery to the front and rear wheels to optimize vehicle control.
4WD Indicator Lights
The indicator lights illuminate in the message center in the
reconfigurable telltale (RTT) location under the following conditions.
Refer to Warning Lamps and Indicators in theInstrument Cluster
chapter.
Note: When a 4X4 system fault is present, the system will typically
remain in whichever 4X4 mode was selected prior to the fault condition
occurring. It will not default to 4X2 in all circumstances. When this
warning is displayed, have your vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer.
4X2- Momentarily illuminates when 2H is selected.
4X4 AUTO - Continuously illuminates when 4A is selected
4X4 - Continuously illuminates when 4H is selected.
CHECK 4X4 - Displays when a 4X4 fault is present.

WARNING:Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not
designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in
these vehicles.
Note: The AdvanceTrac® with RSC® stability enhancement system can
be turned off manually by pressing the AdvanceTrac button, see the
Traction Control chapter for more information. This will disable the
engine management feature, allowing the vehicle to maintain full power
and enhanced momentum through the obstacle.
Note: The Control Trac selector switch should not be changed while the
rear wheels are slipping.
The Control Trac system functions in
four modes:
•2H (4X2) delivers power to the
rear wheels only. The message
center will momentarily display 4x2
when this mode is selected. This mode is appropriate for normal
on-road driving on dry pavement and provides the best fuel economy.
• 4A (4X4 AUTO) provides electronic control four-wheel drive with
power delivered to all four wheels, as required, for increased traction.
The message center will display 4A when this mode is selected. This
mode is appropriate for all on-road driving conditions, such as dry
road surfaces, wet pavement, snow, or gravel.
• 4H (4X4) provides electronically locked four-wheel drive power to
front and rear wheels. The message center will display 4X4 when this
mode is selected. This mode is not recommended for use on dry
pavement. This mode is only intended for severe winter or off-road
conditions, such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand.
Shifting between system modes
Note: Do not perform these operations if the rear wheels are slipping.
Note: Some noise may be heard as the system shifts or engages.
Press any button (4X2, 4X4 AUTO or 4X4) at a stop or while driving.
The message center may display a message indicating a 4X4 shift is in
progress. Once the shift is complete the message center will then display
the system mode selected.

WARNING:Back up as slow as possible since higher speeds
might limit your reaction time to stop the vehicle.
WARNING: Use caution when using the rear video camera and
the liftgate is ajar. If the liftgate is ajar, the camera will be out of
position and the video image may be incorrect. All guidelines (if
enabled) have been removed when the liftgate is ajar.
WARNING: Use caution when turning camera features on or off
while in R (Reverse). Make sure the vehicle is not moving.
The rear view camera system provides a video image of the area behind
the vehicle. The image will be displayed in either the rear view mirror or
the display in the center of the instrument panel.
During operation, lines appear in the display which represent your
vehicle’s path and proximity to objects behind the vehicle. The camera is located on the
liftgate.
Using the Rear View Camera System
The rear view camera system displays what is behind your vehicle when
you place the transmission in R (Reverse). The system uses two types of
guides to help you see what is behind your vehicle:
1. Fixed guidelines: Show the actual path the vehicle is moving in while reversing in a straight line, which can be helpful when backing into a
parking space or aligning the vehicle with another object behind the
vehicle.
2. Centerline: Helps align the center of the vehicle with an object (i.e. a trailer).
Note: If the transmission is in R (Reverse) and the luggage compartment
is ajar, no rear view camera features are displayed.

A. Rear bumper
B. Fixed guideline: Red zone
C. Fixed guideline: Yellow zone
D. Fixed guideline: Green zone
E. Centerline
Always use caution while reversing. Objects in the red zone are closest
to your vehicle and objects in the green zone are further away. Objects
are getting closer to your vehicle as they move from the green zone to
the yellow or red zones. Use the side view mirrors and rear view mirror
to get better coverage on both sides and rear of the vehicle.
Visual Park Aid Alert
Note: Visual park alert is only available when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: The reverse sensing system is not effective at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h) and may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The system uses red, yellow and green highlights which appear on top of
the video image when an object is detected by the reverse sensing
system. The alert highlights the closest object detected. The reverse
sensing alert can be disabled and if visual park aid alert is enabled,
highlighted areas are still displayed.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF.
Manual Zoom
WARNING: When manual zoom is on, the full area behind the
vehicle is not shown. Be aware of your surroundings when using
the manual zoom feature.
Note: Manual zoom is only available when the transmission is in R
(Reverse).
Note: When manual zoom is enabled, only the centerline is shown.

feature automatically turns off and must be reset when it is used again.
Selectable settings for this feature are OFF and ON. Press the zoom
button to change the view. The default setting for the manual zoom is
OFF.
Rear Camera Delay
When shifting the transmission out of R (Reverse) and into any gear
other than P (Park), the camera image remains in the display until your
vehicle speed reaches 5 mph (8 km/h). This occurs when the rear
camera delay feature is on, or until a radio button is selected.
Selectable settings for this feature are ON and OFF. The default setting
for the rear camera delay is OFF.

Zone coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles. Here, the
left sensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverage on that side is severely
limited.
System Lights and MessagesThe BLIS® and CTA systems
illuminate a yellow alert indicator in
the outside mirror on the side of
the vehicle the approaching vehicle
is coming from.
Note: The alert indicator dims when nighttime darkness is detected.
CTA also sounds an audible alarm and a message appears in the
information display indicating a vehicle is coming from the right or left.
CTA works with the reverse sensing system which sounds its own
audible alarm; see the Parking Aidschapter.

System Sensors
WARNING:Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked
condition and alerting the driver, the number of missed objects
will increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS® as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS® is not a replacement for
careful driving.
Note: It is possible to get a blockage warning with no blockage present;
this is rare and known as a false blockage warning. A false blocked
condition either self-corrects or clears after a key cycle.
The system uses radar sensors
which are located behind the
bumper fascia on each side of the
vehicle. Do not allow these areas to
become obstructed by mud, snow or
bumper stickers, as this can cause
degraded system performance.
If the system detects a degraded performance condition, a blocked
sensor warning or low visibility warning will appear in the information
display and the alert indicator illuminates in the appropriate mirror(s).
The information display warning can be cleared but the alert indicator
remains illuminated.
When the blockage is removed, the system can be reset in two ways: 1)
when at least two objects are detected while driving, or 2) turn the
ignition key from on to off, then back on. If the blockage is still present
after the key cycle, the system senses again that it is blocked after
driving in traffic.
