SelectShift™ Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle has 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. Shift 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 you require extra control of gear
selection, 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 displays on the
cluster. Your vehicle is now ready to move
in 2nd gear.

Note:
The AdvanceTrac® with RSC® stability
enhancement system can be switched off
by deselecting the feature on the instrument
panel. See Using Traction Control (page
247). This disables the engine management
feature, allowing the vehicle to maintain full
power and enhanced momentum through
the obstacle.
Note: The AdvanceTrac system can take
control of the transfer case clutch and
disable it during driving maneuvers when
necessary.
2H - 4X2
This 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
This 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. Using 4A in
excite is less aggressively tuned and is
appropriate for dry road surfaces. Using 4A
in normal and 4x4 auto is appropriate for all
on-road driving conditions, such as dry road
surfaces, wet pavement, light snow or gravel.
Using 4A in slippery is more aggressively
tuned and is appropriate for slippery
surfaces, such as light snow or gravel.
4H - 4X4 High
This 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)
This 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 slopes
or pulling heavy objects. Using 4L does not
engage when your vehicle is moving above
3 mph (5 km/h)
. This is normal and is no
reason for concern.
Shifting Between Four-Wheel Drive 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.

Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First-Printing Four-Wheel Drive
(If Equipped)
Shifting to or from 4L - 4X4 LOW
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 the 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 within 30
seconds, the system reverts to the previous
drive mode.
If shift delayed pull forward displays in the
information display, a 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. Note:
Using 4L mode is not intended to be
used on dry pavement.
Operating Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles
with Spare or Mismatched Tires
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of the
spare tire can affect the four-wheel drive
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
four-wheel drive mode turned on.
• Turn on a four-wheel drive mode unless
the vehicle is stationary.
• Use a four-wheel drive 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.
Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle may be
higher to allow it to travel over rough terrain
without getting hung up or damaging
underbody components.
The differences that make your vehicle so
versatile also make it handle differently than
an ordinary passenger car.
