Automatic
With automatic freewheeling hubs, you
don't have to get out of the vehicle to lock
or
unlock
the
hubs.
To lock
the hubs:
1. Stop your vehicle.
2. Shift the transfer case to "4H' or
"4L."
3.
Drive slowly forward and the hubs
will lock.
To unlock the hubs:
1. Stop your vehicle.
2.
Drive seven feet (two meters) in the
direction opposite to the direction you
were driving before you stopped.
3.
Then, press the clutch if you have a
manual transmission, and shift the
transfer case to "2H." The hubs will
unlock.
rransfer Case
?he transfer case shift lever is on the floor
o
the right of the driver. Use this lever to
hift into and out of four-wheel drive. An
ndicator light comes on when the transfer
:ase is in "4H' or "4L."
!H:
This setting is for driving in most
treet and highway situations. Your front
.xle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
IH:
This setting engages your front axle
o
help drive your vehicle. Use "4"'
vhen you need extra traction, such as on
vet or icy roads, or in most off-road
ituations.
q:
Shift to this setting only when your
rehicle needs to be towed.
4L:
This setting also engages your front
axle to give you extra traction, but should
be used only for driving downhill or on
slippery, surfaces when you're driving
slower than
35
mph (55 km/h).
Remember that driving in "4H" or "4L"
may reduce fuel economy. Also, driving
in four-wheel drive on dry pavement
could cause your tires to wear faster and
make your transfer case harder to shift.
You can shift from "2H" to "4H' or from
"4W' to "2H" at any speed if your hubs
are locked and your wheels are straight
ahead. Your front axle will engage faster
if you take your foot off the accelerator
pedal for a few seconds as you shift.
To shift into or out of 4L:
1. Stop your vehicle and shift your
transmission to "N" (Neutral).
2. Shift the transfer case in one
continuous motion.
Don't pause in
" N '
as you shift into
"4H," or your gears could clash.
