•
Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.
• Difficulty shifting out of a mechanically
locked four-wheel drive mode.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly can lead to impairment of the
following:
• Comfort and noise.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
Mechanical Shift Blocking
On four-wheel drive vehicles with a
mechanically locked four-wheel drive high
mode, the transfer case distributes torque
to the front wheels by mechanically
interlocking the front and rear driveshafts
together. Various external factors can
affect shifting performance of this type of
system including, but not limited to:
• Vehicle acceleration.
• Dissimilar tire sizes.
• Steering input.
If the system detects a mechanical shift
blockage at speed after you select
two-wheel drive high, the message "4x4
Unable to Disengage See Manual", could
display momentarily. If this message
displays, one or more of the following
actions can relieve the mechanical shift
block:
• Momentary acceleration.
• Momentary braking.
• Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
• Shifting the transmission to neutral and
back to drive.
• Shifting the transmission to reverse
and back to drive.
• Driving the vehicle around a tight turn
at a slow speed. SELECTING A FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE

To select a four-wheel drive mode, press
the four-wheel drive mode control button
of the desired mode. You can select
two-wheel drive high (2H), four-wheel
drive high (4H), or if your vehicle has
four-wheel drive auto (4A) at a stop or
while driving. Once the shift is complete,
the information display will then display
the selected four-wheel drive mode. While
shifts are in progress, the lights on the
four-wheel drive control switch can flash
and you could see messages in the
information display indicating that a shift
is in progress or to release the accelerator
pedal to improve shift performance.
Note:
Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping or while applying
the accelerator pedal.
Note: You could hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information
display. See Four-Wheel Drive –
Information Messages (page 275).
Shifting to or from Four-Wheel
Drive Low (4L)
To select or exit four-wheel drive low (4L):
1. Bring your vehicle to a speed of
3 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the transmission in neutral (N)
3. Press the desired four-wheel drive button on the four-wheel drive mode
control switch.
The information display will display a
message indicating a four-wheel drive shift
is in progress. If any of the above shift
conditions are not present, the shift will
not occur and the information display will
display information guiding the driver
through the proper shifting procedures. If
there is a transfer case tooth blockage a
message will display in the information display. To alleviate this condition, place
the transmission in a forward gear, move
your vehicle forward approximately
5 ft
(1.5 m), and shift the transmission back to
neutral (N) to allow the transfer case to
complete the range shift.
Note: You could hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information
display.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE MODES
TWO-WHEEL DRIVE HIGH
Two-wheel drive high is for general
on-road driving. Power is sent to the rear
wheels only.
Note: Two-wheel drive high can turn on or
off based on Drive Mode selection See Drive
Mode Control
(page 350).
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE AUTO
(If
Equipped)
Four-wheel drive auto provides
electronically controlled four-wheel drive
power to both the front and rear wheels,
as required, for increased traction in varying
on-road conditions. The four-wheel drive
auto tuning varies based on selected Drive
Mode.
See Selecting a Drive Mode (page
350).
Note: Four-wheel drive auto can turn on or
off automatically based on Drive Mode
selection.
See Selecting a Drive Mode
(page 350).

Four-wheel drive high provides
electronically or mechanically 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.
