A
CAUTION:
If
you skip more than one gear when you
downshift, you could lose control of your vehicle.
And you could injure yourself or others. Don't shift
down more than one gear when you downshift.
If your vehicle has four-wheel drive and is equipped
with a manual transmission, disregard the shift light
when the transfer case is in 4LO.
Locking Rear Axle
If you have this feature, your rear axle can give you
additional traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It
works like a standard axle most of the time, but when
one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does,
the locking feature will allow the wheel with traction to
move the vehicle.
All-Wheel Drive (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has all-wheel drive, your engine's
driving power is sent to all four wheels for extra
traction. This is like four-wheel drive, but there is no
lever or switch to engage or disengage the front axle.
It is fully automatic and adjusts itself as needed for
road conditions.
Four-wheel Drive (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your
engine's driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction. To shift out of two-wheel drive and into
four-wheel drive, move the transfer case shift lever to
4HI or 4LO. You should use 2HI for most normal
driving conditions.
NOTICE:
Driving in the 4HI or 4LO positions for a long
time on dry or wet pavement could shorten the
life of your vehicle's drivetrain.
