If any of the above shift conditions are notmet, the shift will not occur and theinformation display will display informationguiding the driver through the proper rangeof shifting procedures.
If SHIFT DELAYED PULL FORWARD isdisplayed in the information display,transfer case gear tooth blockage ispresent. To alleviate this condition, placethe transmission in a forward gear, movethe vehicle forward approximately 5 ft(2 m), and shift the transmission back toneutral (N) to allow the transfer case tocomplete the range shift.
How Your Vehicle Differs FromOther Vehicles
WARNING
Vehicles with a higher center ofgravity such as utility and four-wheeldrive vehicles handle differently thanvehicles with a lower center of gravity.Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles arenot designed for cornering at speeds ashigh as passenger cars any more thanlow-slung sports cars are designed toperform satisfactorily under off-roadconditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessivespeed and abrupt maneuvers in thesevehicles. Failure to drive cautiously couldresult in an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injury anddeath.
Truck and utility vehicles can differ fromsome other vehicles. Your vehicle may behigher to allow it to travel over roughterrain without getting hung up ordamaging underbody components.
The differences that make your vehicle soversatile also make it handle differentlythan an ordinary passenger car.
Maintain steering wheel control at alltimes, especially in rough terrain. Sincesudden changes in terrain can result inabrupt steering wheel motion, make sureyou grip the steering wheel from theoutside. Do not grip the spokes.
Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damagefrom concealed objects such as rocks andstumps.
You should either know the terrain orexamine maps of the area before driving.Map out your route before driving in thearea. To maintain steering and brakingcontrol of your vehicle, you must have allfour wheels on the ground and they mustbe rolling, not sliding or spinning.
Driving Off-Road With Truck andUtility Vehicles
Note:On some models, the initial shift fromtwo-wheel drive to four-wheel drive whileyour vehicle is moving can cause somemomentary clunk and ratcheting sounds.This is the front drivetrain coming up tospeed and the automatic locking hubsengaging and is not cause for concern.
Note:Your vehicle may be equipped witha front air dam that can become damaged(due to reduced ground clearance) whentaking your vehicle off-road. You mayremove this air dam by removing eight bolts.
Four-wheel drive vehicles are speciallyequipped for driving on sand, snow, mudand rough terrain and have operatingcharacteristics that are somewhatdifferent from conventional vehicles, bothon and off the road.

Four-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)

Modes:
•Comfort – Provides a more relaxeddriving experience, maximizing comfort.Your steering effort decreases and thesuspension movement is more fluid.Comfort mode is ideal when you desireenhanced traveling comfort.
•Normal – Delivers a balancedcombination of comfortable, controlledride and confident handling. This modeprovides an engaging drive experienceand a direct connection to the roadwithout sacrificing any of thecomposure demanded from yourvehicle.
•Sport – Provides a sportier drivingexperience. The suspension stiffens,with an emphasis on handling andcontrol. The engine responds moredirectly to your inputs. Sport mode isideal for use during more spiriteddriving.
Adaptive Steering
You can configure which of the modes areactive from the main menu on theinformation display. See GeneralInformation (page 92).
Modes:
•Normal – Default factory setting.
•Sport – Slightly higher effort requiredfor steering with more road force feltthrough the steering wheel.
Note:The Drive Control has diagnosticchecks that continuously monitor thesystem to ensure proper operation. Certaintypes of system errors will gray out themode selections within the informationdisplay, preventing you from changing stateswhen the gear position is changed. Othertypes of errors will produce a temporarymessage that states a malfunction. If eithercondition persists for multiple key cycles,have your vehicle checked by an authorizeddealer.
SELF-LEVELING SUSPENSION
The self-leveling suspension system isdesigned to improve ride, handling andgeneral vehicle performance during:
•Certain road conditions
•Steering maneuvers
•Braking
•Acceleration
•Towing
This system keeps the rear of your vehicleat a constant level through a hydraulicpump inside each rear shock. Dependingon the payload or road surface conditionsit will take approximately 2 mi (3.2 km) forthe leveling to complete.
If the loaded vehicle is not moved forapproximately 12 hours, the leveling systemmay bleed down to a lower height. Thiscan be especially apparent if a trailer is leftattached to the parked vehicle for longperiods of time. You must drive your vehiclein order to re-level the suspension.
If a self-equalizing hitch is used, yourvehicle should be driven approximately2 mi (3.2 km) with the trailer prior toadjusting (leveling) the hitch.

Roadside Emergencies

Utility vehicles and trucks handledifferently than passenger cars in thevarious driving conditions that areencountered on streets, highways andoff-road. Utility vehicles and trucks are notdesigned for cornering at speeds as highas passenger cars any more than low-slungsports cars are designed to performsatisfactorily under off-road conditions.
Study your owner's manual and anysupplements for specific information aboutequipment features, instructions for safedriving and additional precautions toreduce the risk of an accident or seriousinjury.
Four-wheel drive system (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not become overconfident in theability of four-wheel drive vehicles.Although a four-wheel drive vehiclemay accelerate better than a two-wheeldrive vehicle in low traction situations, itwon't stop any faster than two-wheel drivevehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.
A vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive(when selected) has the ability to use allfour wheels to power itself. This increasestraction which may enable you to safelydrive over terrain and road conditions thata conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot.
Power is supplied to all four wheelsthrough a transfer case or power transferunit. Four-wheel drive vehicles allow youto select different modes as necessary. Forinformation on transfer case operation andshifting procedures, See Four-WheelDrive (page 164). For information ontransfer case maintenance, SeeMaintenance (page 243). You shouldbecome thoroughly familiar with thisinformation before you operate yourvehicle.
On some four-wheel drive vehicles, theinitial shift from two-wheel to four-wheeldrive while the vehicle is moving can causea momentary clunk and ratcheting sound.These sounds are normal and are notcause for concern.
For four-wheel drive vehicles, a spare tireof a different size other than the tireprovided should never be used. A dissimilarspare tire size (other than the spare tireprovided) or major dissimilar tire sizedbetween the front and rear axles couldcause the four-wheel drive system to stopfunctioning and default to front-wheeldrive. See Using Four-Wheel Drive (page164).
