SelectShift™ Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission. The SelectShift
Automatic transmission gives you the ability
to change gears up or down, without a
clutch, as desired.
In order to prevent the engine from running
at too low of an RPM, which may cause it to
stall, SelectShift still automatically makes
some downshifts if it has determined that
you have not downshifted in time. Although
SelectShift makes some downshifts for you,
it still allows you to downshift at any time as
long as the SelectShift determines that
damage to the engine does not occur from
over-revving.
Note:
Engine damage may occur if you
maintain excessive engine revving without
shifting.
SelectShift does not automatically upshift,
even if the engine is approaching the RPM
limit. It must be shifted manually by pressing
the + paddle.
Pull the + paddle on the steering wheel to
activate SelectShift. •
Pull the right paddle (+) to upshift.
• Pull the left paddle (–) to downshift. SelectShift in drive (D):
Provides a temporary manual mode for
performing more demanding maneuvers
where extra control of gear selection is
required (for example, when towing, downhill
driving or overtaking). This mode holds a
selected gear for a temporary period of time
dependent on driver inputs (for example,
steering or accelerator pedal input).
In SelectShift mode, the instrument cluster
displays your currently selected gear. If you
request a gear, but it is not available due to
vehicle conditions, low speed, too high
engine speed for requested gear selection,
the current gear briefly flashes.
Note:
At full accelerator pedal travel, the
transmission downshifts for maximum
performance.
Note: In low traction conditions, you can pull
away in second gear using SelectShift. To
perform this operation, select drive (D) and
press the + paddle until 2 is displayed on the
cluster. Your vehicle is now ready to move
in 2nd gear.

USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Note:
For important information regarding
safe operation of this type of vehicle, see
General Information in the Wheels and Tires
chapter.
Note: Do not use SLIPPERY, DEEP
CONDITIONS or SLOW CLIMB on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so produces
excessive noise, increases tire wear and may
damage drive components. The 4X4 system
in these modes is only intended for
consistently slippery or loose surfaces.
Note: If you select a drive mode that uses
4L when your vehicle is moving above 3 mph
(5 km/h), the 4WD system does not perform
a shift. This is normal and should be no
reason for concern. Refer to Shifting to or
from 4L for proper operation.
4X4 Indicator Lights
4X2 Momentarily illuminates when you
start the vehicle or when a drive
mode that uses 2H is selected. 4X4 AUTO Continuously illuminates when a
drive mode that uses 4A is
selected.
4X4 HIGH Continuously illuminates when a
drive mode that uses 4H is
selected.
4X4 LOW - (If Equipped) Continuously illuminates when a
drive mode that uses 4L is
selected.
CHECK 4X4 Displays when a 4X4 fault is
present.Note:
When a 4X4 system fault is present,
the system typically remains in whichever
4X4 mode was selected prior to the fault
condition occurring. It does not default to
4X2 in all circumstances. When this warning
is displayed, have your vehicle serviced by
an authorized dealer.
4X4 Modes WARNING:
Vehicles with a higher
center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.

2H - 4X2
2H turns on when you select
NORMAL or
CONSERVE. Power is delivered to the rear
wheels only. This mode is appropriate for
normal on-road driving on dry pavement and
provides the best fuel economy. 4A - 4X4 Auto
4A turns on when you select
EXCITE,
NORMAL 4x4 AUTO or SLIPPERY. It
provides electronically controlled four-wheel
drive with power delivered to all four wheels,
as required, for increased traction. 4A is
calibrated in conjunction with Drive Mode.
4A in EXCITE is less aggressively tuned and
is appropriate for dry road surfaces. 4A in
NORMAL 4x4 AUTO
is appropriate for all
on-road driving conditions, such as dry road
surfaces, wet pavement, light snow or gravel.
4A in
SLIPPERY is more aggressively tuned
and is appropriate for slippery surfaces, such
as light snow or gravel.
4H - 4X4 High
4H turns on when you select
DEEP
CONDITIONS. It provides electronically
locked four-wheel drive power to both the
front and rear wheels for use in off-road or
winter conditions such as deep snow, sand
or mud. This mode is not for use on dry
pavement. 4L - 4X4 Low - (If Equipped)
4L turns on when you select
SLOW CLIMB.
It provides electronically locked four-wheel
drive power to both the front and rear wheels
for use on low traction surfaces, but does so
with additional gearing for increased torque
multiplication. Intended only for off-road
applications such as deep sand, steep
grades or pulling heavy objects. 4L does not
engage when your vehicle is moving above
3 mph (5 km/h); this is normal and should be
no reason for concern.
Shifting Between 4WD System Modes
Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator
pedal when a shift in progress message
displays improves engagement and
disengagement performance.
Note: Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping.
Note: You may hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages; this is normal.

Shifting to or from 4L - 4X4 LOW
Note:
4L mode is not intended for use on dry
pavement.
1. Bring the vehicle to a rolling speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the gearshift in neutral (N).
3. Rotate the drive mode knob to desired mode.
The information display shows a message
indicating a 4X4 shift is in progress. The
information display shows the system mode
selected. If any of the previous shift
conditions are not present, the shift does not
occur and the information display shows the
information guiding the driver through the
proper shifting procedures. If the previous
conditions are not satisfied in 30 seconds,
the system reverts back to the previous 4WD
mode or drive mode. If
Shift Delayed Pull Forward displays in the
information display, transfer case gear tooth
blockage is present. To alleviate this
condition, place the transmission in a forward
gear, move the vehicle forward
approximately
5 ft (2 m), and shift the
transmission back to neutral (N) to allow the
transfer case to complete the range shift.
Operating 4WD Vehicles with Spare or
Mismatched Tires
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of the
spare tire can affect the 4X4 system. If there
is a significant difference between the size
of the spare tire and the remaining tires, you
may have limited four-wheel drive
functionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, it is
recommended that you do not:
• Exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) with a 4WD
mode turned on.
• Turn on a 4WD mode unless the vehicle
is stationary.
• Use a 4WD mode on dry pavement. Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly may lead to impairment of the
following:
•
Comfort and noise.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
How Your Vehicle Differs from Other
Vehicles WARNING:
Vehicles with a higher
center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
