•Make sure that when in operation, theextension cord plug and engine blockheater cord plug connections are freeand clear of water. This could cause anelectric shock or fire.
•If the engine block heater cord is underthe hood, do not remove the wiringfrom its original location. Do not closethe hood on the extension wiring.
•Park your vehicle in a clean area, clearof combustible materials.
•Firmly connect the engine block heatercord and the extension cord.
•Check the extension cord for heatanywhere when the system has beenoperating for approximately 30minutes.
•Unplug and properly stow the systembefore starting and driving your vehicle.The protective cover seals theterminals of the engine block heatercord plug when not in use.
•Check the engine block heater systemfor proper operation before winter.
HOW DOES THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER WORK
The engine block heater warms the enginecoolant. This allows the climate controlsystem to quickly respond. The equipmentincludes a heater element installed in theengine block and a wire harness. You canconnect the system to a grounded 110 voltAC electrical source.
Note:The engine block heater is mosteffective when outdoor temperatures arebelow 0°F (-18°C).
USING THE ENGINE BLOCKHEATER
Make sure the receptacle terminals areclean and dry prior to use. Clean them witha dry cloth if necessary.
The heater uses 0.4 to 1.0 kilowatt-hoursof energy per hour of use. The system doesnot have a thermostat. It achievesmaximum temperature afterapproximately three hours of operation.Using the engine block heater longer thanthree hours does not improve systemperformance and unnecessarily useselectricity.

HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE WORK
Using the 1-Speed Automatic Four-Wheel Drive System
The 1-speed automatic four-wheel drivesystem utilizes an electronically controlledon-demand 1-speed transfer case. Thissystem monitors various vehicle sensoryinputs to provide an increased level ofperformance. This system offers the drivertwo-wheel drive high, four-wheel driveauto and four-wheel drive high as availablemodes of operation via the selectable drivemode switch. When you select four-wheeldrive auto the system continuously variespower to the front wheels for optimumperformance for all on-road conditions.When you select four-wheel drive high thesystem provides power to the front andrear wheels for use in off-road or slipperyconditions such as deep snow, sand ormud. There is further information on drivingin unique driving conditions. See DrivingHints (page 389).
Using the 2-Speed AutomaticFour-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
The 2-speed automatic four-wheel drivesystem utilizes an electronically controlledon-demand 2-speed transfer case. Thissystem monitors various vehicle sensoryinputs to provide an increased level ofperformance. This system offers the drivertwo-wheel drive high, four-wheel driveauto, four-wheel drive high, and four-wheeldrive low as available modes of operation.When you select four-wheel drive auto thesystem continuously varies power to thefront wheels for optimum performance forall on-road conditions. When you selecteither four-wheel drive high or four-wheeldrive low with the appropriate drive modes,the four-wheel drive system provideselectronically locked power to the frontand rear wheels for use in off-road or
slippery conditions such as deep snow,sand or mud. Selecting four-wheel drivelow also provides additional gearing forincreased torque multiplication forconditions like deep sand, snow, steepslopes, or pulling heavy objects. SeeSelecting a Four-Wheel Drive Mode(page 220).Additionally, the system iscapable of recreational flat towing byputting the transfer case into neutral (N).See Recreationally Towing YourVehicle (page 400).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Vehicles with a highercenter of gravity (utility and four-wheeldrive vehicles) handle differently thanvehicles with a lower center of gravity(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,excessive speed and abrupt steering inthese vehicles. Failure to drive cautiouslyincreases the risk of losing control of yourvehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
WARNING: Do not becomeoverconfident in the ability of four-wheeldrive vehicles. Although a four-wheeldrive vehicle may accelerate better thana two-wheel drive vehicle in low tractionsituations, it won't stop any faster thantwo-wheel drive vehicles. Always driveat a safe speed.
Truck and utility vehicles can differ fromsome other vehicles. Your vehicle could behigher to allow it to travel over roughterrain without getting stuck or damagingunderbody components. The differencesthat make your vehicle so versatile also

Depending on the variant, the four-wheeldrive mode control is either in theinstrument panel or the center console.
To select a four-wheel drive mode, pressthe four-wheel drive mode control buttonof the desired mode. You can selecttwo-wheel drive high (2H), four-wheeldrive auto (4A) or four-wheel drive high(4H) at a stop or while driving. Once theshift is complete, the information displayshows the selected four-wheel drive mode.While shifts are in progress, the lights onthe four-wheel drive control switch flashesuntil your vehicle achieves the desired shift.
Note:When shifting to and from four-wheeldrive, the information display shows theshifting in progress message indicating thatthe system is in the process of making ashift.
Note:Do not perform this operation if therear wheels are slipping or while applyingthe accelerator pedal.
If the system detects a fault, a warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay. See Four-Wheel Drive –Information Messages (page 224).
Shifting to or from Four-WheelDrive Low (4L) (If Equipped)
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 drivebutton on the four-wheel drive modecontrol switch.
The information display shows a messageindicating a four-wheel drive shift is inprogress. If any of the above shiftconditions are not present, the shift doesnot occur and the information displayshows information guiding the driverthrough the proper shifting procedures. Ifthere is a transfer case tooth blockage, amessage displays in the informationdisplay. To alleviate this condition, placethe transmission in a forward gear, moveyour vehicle forward approximately 5 ft(1.5 m), and shift the transmission back toneutral (N) to allow the transfer case tocomplete the range shift.
Note:You could hear some noise as thesystem shifts or engages which is normal.
If the system detects a fault, a warningmessage appears in the informationdisplay. See Four-Wheel Drive –Information Messages (page 224).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE DRIVING
HINTS
DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all fourwheels on the most solid area of the trail.Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shiftto a lower gear and drive steadily throughthe terrain. Apply the accelerator slowlyand avoid excessive wheel slip.
When driving at slow speeds in deep sandunder high outside temperatures, use a lowgear when possible. Low gear operationcan maximize the engine and transmissioncooling capability.

Note:If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump thebrakes.
DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE
Four-wheel drive vehicles have advantagesover two-wheel drive vehicles in snow andice but can skid like any other vehicle.Should you start to slide while driving onsnowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheelin the direction of the slide until you regaincontrol.
Avoid sudden applications of power andquick changes of direction on snow andice. Apply the accelerator slowly andsteadily when starting from a full stop.Avoid sudden braking. Although afour-wheel drive vehicle can acceleratebetter than a two-wheel drive vehicle insnow and ice, it cannot stop any faster asbraking occurs at all four wheels. Do notbecome overconfident as to roadconditions.
Make sure you allow sufficient distancebetween you and other vehicles forstopping. Drive slower than usual andconsider using one of the lower gears. Inemergency stopping situations, apply thebrake steadily. Do not pump the brakepedal. See Anti-Lock Braking SystemLimitations (page 229).
Note:Excessive tire slippage can causetransmission damage.
