It can be dangerous to get out
of your vehicle if
the shift lever is
not
fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is
~
running unless you have to. If you've left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
vehicle won't move, even when you're on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to PARK (P).
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won't
move. See "Shifting Into PARK (P)" in the Index.
If you're pulling a trailer, see "Towing a Trailer" in
the Index.
Locking Rear Axle (If Equipped)
If
you have
this feature, your locking 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, this feature will allow the wheel with
traction to move the vehicle.
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, push the 4HI or 4LO on the transfer
case
swit.ch. You should use 2HI for most ngrmal
driving conditions.
I
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.
