4WD LOW To 4WD HI
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the
ignition switch in the ON position or the engine running,
shift the transmission into NEUTRAL (N), and push the
4WD LOW button once on the transfer case switch until
the 4WD LOW indicator light begins to flash in the
instrument cluster. The 4WD LOW light will go out when
the shift is complete.
NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met a message
will show on the instrument cluster display with instruc -
tions required to complete the shift
Úpage 99.
 Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the
vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may
occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly
aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch
teeth alignment and shift completion to occur. The
preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph
(0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than
3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow the
shift.
QUADRA-DRIVE II SYSTEM —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Quadra-Drive II System features two torque transfer
couplings. The couplings include an Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (ELSD) rear axle and the
Quadra-Trac II transfer case. The ELSD axle is fully
automatic and requires no driver input to operate. Under
normal driving conditions, the unit functions as a standard
axle, balancing torque evenly between left and right
wheels. With a traction difference between left and right
wheels, the coupling will sense a speed difference. As one
wheel begins to spin faster than the other, torque will
automatically transfer from the wheel that has less
traction, to the wheel that has traction. While the transfer
case and axle coupling differ in design, their operation is
similar. Follow the Quadra-Trac II transfer case shifting
information, preceding this section, for shifting this
system.
SELEC-TERRAIN — IF EQUIPPED
SELEC-TERRAIN MODE SELECTION
Selec-Terrain combines the capabilities of the vehicle
control systems, along with driver input, to provide the
best performance for all terrains. Tap the toggle up or
down to cycle through the positions.

23_WS_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 131

132STARTING AND OPERATING
Selec-Terrain consists of the following positions:
ROCK (if equipped) – Off-road calibration is only avail -
able in 4WD LOW. The vehicle is raised (if equipped
with Air Suspension) for improved ground clearance.
Traction-based tuning with improved steerability for
use on high traction off-road surfaces. Use for low
speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep ruts, etc. If
equipped with air suspension, the vehicle level will
change to Off-Road 2 (OR2). If the Selec-Terrain switch
is in ROCK mode, and the transfer case is switched
from 4WD LOW to 4WD HI, the Selec-Terrain system
will return to AUTO.
 SAND (if equipped) – Off-road calibration for use on low
traction surfaces such as sand or wet grass. Driveline
is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on
less forgiving surfaces. The electronic brake controls
are set to limit traction control management of throttle
and wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the
default ride height for SAND is Normal Ride Height
(NRH).
 MUD (if equipped) – Off-road calibration for use on low
traction surfaces such as mud. Driveline is maximized
for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit
traction control management of throttle and wheel
spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to Off-Road 1 (OR1). 
SNOW – Tuning set for additional stability in inclement
weather. Use on and off road on loose traction surfaces
such as snow. When in SNOW mode (depending on
certain operating conditions), the transmission may
use SECOND gear (rather than FIRST gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If equipped with
air suspension, the default ride height for SNOW is
Normal Ride Height (NRH).
 AUTO – Fully automatic full-time four-wheel drive oper -
ation can be used on and off road. Balances traction
with seamless steering feel to provide improved
handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehi -
cles. If equipped with air suspension, the level will
change to Normal Ride Height (NRH).
 SPORT – This mode alters the transmission's auto -
matic shift schedule for sportier driving. Upshift speeds
are increased to make full use of available engine
power. Steering efforts are modified for sporty driving.
If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to
Aero Height.

QUADRA-LIFT — IF EQUIPPED
DESCRIPTION
The Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system provides full-time
load leveling capability along with the benefit of vehicle
height adjustment by a toggle switch. The vehicle will automatically raise and lower the ride
height to adapt to the appropriate driving conditions. At
higher speeds, the vehicle will lower to an aerodynamic
ride height and when operating in off-road modes (if
equipped), the vehicle will raise the ride height
accordingly. The buttons near the terrain switch in the
center console area can be used to set preferred ride
height to match the appropriate conditions.
