SelectShift™ Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShiftAutomatic transmission. The SelectShiftAutomatic transmission gives you the abilityto change gears up or down, without aclutch, as desired.
In order to prevent the engine from runningat too low of an RPM, which may cause it tostall, SelectShift still automatically makessome downshifts if it has determined thatyou have not downshifted in time. AlthoughSelectShift makes some downshifts for you,it still allows you to downshift at any time aslong as the SelectShift determines thatdamage to the engine does not occur fromover-revving.
Note:Engine damage may occur if youmaintain excessive engine revving withoutshifting.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,even if the engine is approaching the RPMlimit. It must be shifted manually by pressingthe + paddle.
Pull the + paddle on the steering wheel toactivate SelectShift.
•Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
•Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift.
SelectShift in drive (D):
Provides a temporary manual mode forperforming more demanding maneuverswhere extra control of gear selection isrequired (for example, when towing, downhilldriving or overtaking). This mode holds aselected gear for a temporary period of timedependent on driver inputs (for example,steering or accelerator pedal input).
In SelectShift mode, the instrument clusterdisplays your currently selected gear. If yourequest a gear, but it is not available due tovehicle conditions, low speed, too highengine speed for requested gear selection,the current gear briefly flashes.
Note:At full accelerator pedal travel, thetransmission downshifts for maximumperformance.
Note:In low traction conditions, you can pullaway in second gear using SelectShift. Toperform this operation, select drive (D) andpress the + paddle until 2 is displayed on thecluster. Your vehicle is now ready to movein 2nd gear.

2H - 4X2
2H turns on when you select NORMAL orCONSERVE. Power is delivered to the rearwheels only. This mode is appropriate fornormal on-road driving on dry pavement andprovides the best fuel economy.
4A - 4X4 Auto
4A turns on when you select EXCITE,NORMAL 4x4 AUTO or SLIPPERY. Itprovides electronically controlled four-wheeldrive with power delivered to all four wheels,as required, for increased traction. 4A iscalibrated in conjunction with Drive Mode.4A in EXCITE is less aggressively tuned andis appropriate for dry road surfaces. 4A inNORMAL 4x4 AUTO is appropriate for allon-road driving conditions, such as dry roadsurfaces, wet pavement, light snow or gravel.4A in SLIPPERY is more aggressively tunedand is appropriate for slippery surfaces, suchas light snow or gravel.
4H - 4X4 High
4H turns on when you select DEEPCONDITIONS. It provides electronicallylocked four-wheel drive power to both thefront and rear wheels for use in off-road orwinter conditions such as deep snow, sandor mud. This mode is not for use on drypavement.
4L - 4X4 Low
4L turns on when you select SLOW CLIMB.It provides electronically locked four-wheeldrive power to both the front and rear wheelsfor use on low traction surfaces, but does sowith additional gearing for increased torquemultiplication. Intended only for off-roadapplications such as deep sand, steepgrades or pulling heavy objects. 4L does notengage when your vehicle is moving above3 mph (5 km/h); this is normal and should beno reason for concern.
Shifting Between 4WD System Modes
Note:Momentarily releasing the acceleratorpedal when a shift in progress messagedisplays improves engagement anddisengagement performance.
Note:Do not perform this operation if therear wheels are slipping.
Note:You may hear some noise as thesystem shifts or engages; this is normal.

1. Bring the vehicle to a rolling speed of3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the gearshift in neutral (N).
3. Rotate the drive mode knob to desiredmode.
The information display shows a messageindicating a 4X4 shift is in progress. Theinformation display shows the system modeselected. If any of the previous shiftconditions are not present, the shift does notoccur and the information display shows theinformation guiding the driver through theproper shifting procedures. If the previousconditions are not satisfied in 30 seconds,the system reverts back to the previous 4WDmode or drive mode.
If Shift Delayed Pull Forward displays in theinformation display, transfer case gear toothblockage is present. To alleviate thiscondition, place the transmission in a forwardgear, move the vehicle forwardapproximately 5 ft (2 m), and shift thetransmission back to neutral (N) to allow thetransfer case to complete the range shift.
Operating 4WD Vehicles With Spareor Mismatched Tires
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of thespare tire can affect the 4X4 system. If thereis a significant difference between the sizeof the spare tire and the remaining tires, youmay have limited four-wheel drivefunctionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilarspare wheel and tire assembly, it isrecommended that you do not:
•Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) with a 4WDmode turned on.
•Turn on a 4WD mode unless the vehicleis stationary.
•Use a 4WD mode on dry pavement.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tireassembly may lead to impairment of thefollowing:
•Comfort and noise.
•Winter weather driving capability.
•Wet driving capability.
•Four-wheel drive capability.
How Your Vehicle Differs From OtherVehicles
WARNING: Vehicles with a highercenter of gravity (utility and four-wheeldrive vehicles) handle differently thanvehicles with a lower center of gravity(passenger cars).
