The Quadra-Trac I is a single-speed (HI range only)
transfer case, which provides convenient full-time
four-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required.
The Brake Traction Control (BTC) System, which
combines standard ABS and Traction Control,
provides resistance to any wheel that is slipping to
allow additional torque transfer to wheels with
traction.
NOTE:
The Quadra-Trac I system is not appropriate for
conditions where 4WD LOW range is recom-
mended Ú page 146.

The Quadra-Trac II transfer case is fully automatic
in the normal driving 4WD AUTO mode. The
Quadra-Trac II transfer case provides three
positions:
4WD AUTO
N (NEUTRAL)
4WD LOW
When additional traction is required, the 4WD LOW
position can be used to lock the front and rear
driveshafts together and force the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed. The 4WD LOW
position is intended for loose, slippery road
surfaces only. Driving in the 4WD LOW position on
dry, hard-surfaced roads may cause increased tire
wear and damage to driveline components.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, the
engine speed is approximately three times that of
the 4WD AUTO position at a given road speed. Take
care not to overspeed the engine and do not
exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
