Even when wheel slip is notpresent, the system is continuouslyadjusting to the torque distribution, in anattempt to improve straight line andcornering behavior, both on and off road.
The system automatically turns on everytime you switch the ignition on.
If any component requires maintenance,a message appears in the instrumentcluster display.
USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
An image appears in the instrument clusterto advise you of the power distributionbetween the front and rear wheels. Themore the area is filled, the more power isbeing distributed to that wheel.
Note:Four-wheel drive is also called 4WDand 4x4.
Note:Do not use the four-wheel drive lock,the rear differential lock or off-roadselectable drive modes on dry, hardsurfaced roads. Doing so can produceexcessive noise, increase tire wear and maydamage drive components. These featuresare only intended for consistently slipperyor loose surfaces. Operating your vehicleoutside of these conditions could subjectthe vehicle to excessive stress, which mayresult in damage not covered under yourwarranty. See G.O.A.T. Mode Control(page 241).
Note:When a system malfunction ispresent, a warning message appears in theinstrument cluster. See InformationMessages (page 109). This means thesystem is not properly functioning and hasdefaulted to front-wheel drive. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note:A message appears in the instrumentcluster if the system overheats and switchesto front-wheel drive. This condition couldoccur if you operate your vehicle in extremehigh load conditions or with excessive wheelslip, for example deep sand. To resumefour-wheel drive function as soon aspossible, stop your vehicle in a safe locationand switch the ignition off for a minimumof 10 minutes. After the system cools,normal four-wheel drive functionalityresumes.
Note:If a warning message appears in theinstrument cluster when using the spare tire,it turns off after reinstalling the repaired orreplaced road tire and you perform a keycycle.
Note:It is recommended that you reinstallthe repaired tire or replace the tire as soonas possible. Major dissimilar tire sizes couldcause system damage or default the systemto front-wheel drive.
