OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION

• This vehicle has two full time, on-demand, four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems
available, Freedom Drive I™ and Freedom-Drive II™. They provide for all-weather,
all-terrain capability for added driving security in less-than-ideal road conditions.
Freedom-Drive I™ Four Wheel Drive System
• The vehicle will constantly monitor wheel slippage and transfer power to the axle
that can use it the most.
• For additional traction in sand, deep snow or loose traction surfaces, the "4WD
Lock" sends equal amounts of the torque to the front and rear axles at low speeds.
• To activate, pull the T-handle, located in between the front driver and passenger
seats, up once and release. The "4WD Indicator Light" will come on in the cluster.
