420 STARTING AND OPERATING
Shift Positions
For additional information on the appropriate use of each
4WD system mode position, see the information below:
4WD AUTO
This range is used on surfaces such as ice, snow, gravel,
sand, and dry hard pavement.
NOTE: Refer to "Selec-Terrain® – If Equipped" in "Start-
ing and Operating" for further information on the vari-
ous positions and their intended usages.
NEUTRAL
This range disengages the driveline from the powertrain.
It is to be used for flat towing behind another vehicle.
Refer to "Recreational Towing" in "Starting and Operat-
ing" for further information.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave the
vehicle unattended with the power transfer unit in
the NEUTRAL (N) position without first fully engag-
ing the parking brake. The NEUTRAL (N) position
disengages both the front and rear drive shafts from
the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move
regardless of the transmission position. The parking
brake should always be applied when the driver is
not in the vehicle.
4WD LOW
This range is for low speed four-wheel drive. It provides
an additional gear reduction which allows for increased
torque to be delivered to both the front and rear wheels
while providing maximum pulling power for loose,
slippery road surfaces only. Do not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h).
