HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE WORK
Using the Electronic Shift On the
Fly System (If Equipped)
This four-wheel drive system utilizes a
2-speed Electronic Shift On the Fly (ESOF)
transfer case which is also known as a
part-time system. This system offers the
driver two-wheel drive high, four-wheel
drive high, and four-wheel drive low as
available modes of operation. When you
select either four-wheel drive high or
four-wheel drive low, the system provides
mechanically locked four-wheel drive
power to both the front and rear wheels
for use in off-road or slippery conditions
such as deep snow, sand or mud. When
you select four-wheel drive low, the system
provides additional gearing for increased
torque multiplication for conditions like
deep sand, steep slopes, or pulling heavy
objects. Additionally, the system is capable
of recreational flat towing by putting the
transfer case into a neutral position. See
Recreationally Towing Your Vehicle
(page
384). For proper operation, make sure that each
hub is fully engaged and that both hub
locks are set to the same position (both
set to lock or both set to auto). To engage
lock, turn the hub locks completely
clockwise. To engage auto, turn the hub
locks completely counterclockwise.
The ESOF four-wheel drive system:
•
Provides 4x4 High engagement and
disengagement while the vehicle is
moving.
• Operates by a rotary control located
on the instrument panel that allows
you select 4x2, 4x4 High or 4x4 Low
operation.
• Uses auto-manual hub locks that can
be engaged and disengaged
automatically based on the 4x4 mode
you select.
• Increases fuel economy when used in
the hub lock's recommended auto
mode.
Note: Auto-manual hub locks manually
lock by rotating the hub lock control from
auto to lock.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS 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.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
LIMITATIONS
Do not use four-wheel drive high or
four-wheel drive low mode on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and can
damage drive components. four-wheel
drive high or four-wheel drive low modes
intended for consistently slippery or loose
surfaces. Use of four low mode on these
surfaces could produce some noise, such
as occasional clunks, but should not
damage drive components. When
transitioning from consistently loose or
slippery surfaces, be sure the four-wheel
drive systems not mechanically blocked
once on dry, hard surfaced roads in
two-wheel drive high.
Operating Four-Wheel Drive with
a 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 could have
limited four-wheel drive functionality.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, 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.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, four-wheel
drive functionality is limited, especially
when driving in a mechanically locked
four-wheel drive mode. You can experience
the following: •
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.
SELECTING A FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE The four-wheel drive mode control is on
the instrument panel.
To select a four-wheel drive mode, rotate
the four-wheel drive mode control to
switch to the desired mode. You can select
two-wheel drive high (2H), or four-wheel
drive high (4H), at a stop or while driving.
Once the shift is complete, the information
display then displays the selected
four-wheel drive mode. While shifts are in
progress, 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.

WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps to avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehicle
with the traction control disabled could
lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. The traction control system turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
The button for the stability and traction
control system is on the instrument panel. Press and release the button to switch
traction control off. The stability control
system remains fully active, to switch it off,
press and hold the button for a few
seconds, then release.
When you switch traction control off, a
message and an illuminated icon appear
on the instrument cluster.
Press the switch again to turn the traction
control system back on to normal
operation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictions
regarding this feature. See
What Is
MyKey (page 77).
