Locking Rear Axle (If Equipped)
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.
Four-wheel Drive
If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your
engine's driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction. To get the most satisfaction out of four-wheel
drive, you must be familiar with its operation. Read the
part that follows before using four-wheel drive.
You
should use 2-WHEEL HIGH (2H) for most normal
driving conditions.

NOTICE:
I
Driving in the 4-WHEEL HIGH (4H) or
4-WHEEL LOW (4L) positions for a long time
on dry or wet pavement could shorten the life
of
your vehicle's drivetrain.
Front Axle Locking Feature
The front axle locks and unlocks automatically when
you shift the transfer case. Some delay for the axle to
lock or unlock is normal. If the outside temperature is
very hot, or the vehicle has been used under hard
driving conditions, there may be a slight delay for the
axle to unlock.
