OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES (4WD OPERATION)
FOUR–WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
(COMMAND-TRAC I OR ROCK-TRAC)
Failure to engage a transfer case position completely can cause transfer case
damage or loss of power and vehicle control. You could have a collision. Do not
drive the vehicle unless the transfer case is fully engaged.
Operating Instructions/Precautions
The transfer case provides four mode positions:
• 2H (Two-Wheel Drive High Range)
• 4H (Four-Wheel Drive High Range)
• N (Neutral)
• 4L (Four-Wheel Drive Low Range)
The transfer case is intended to be driven
in the 2H position for normal street and
highway conditions, such as hard-
surfaced roads.
In the event that additional traction is
required, the transfer case 4H and 4L
positions can be used to lock the front
and rear driveshafts together, forcing the
front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. The 4H and 4L positions are
intended for loose, slippery road surfaces
only and not intended for normal driving.
Driving in the 4H and 4L positions on
hard-surfaced roads will cause increased
tire wear and damage to the driveline
components. Refer to "Shifting Proce-
dures" in this section for further information on shifting into 4H or 4L.
The "4WD Indicator Light" (located in the instrument cluster) alerts the driver that
the vehicle is in four-wheel drive, and the front and rear driveshafts are locked
together. The light will illuminate when the transfer case is shifted into the 4H
position.
NOTE:
Do not attempt to shift when only the front or rear wheels are spinning. The transfer
case is not equipped with a synchronizer, and the front and rear driveshaft speeds
must be equal for a shift to take place. Shifting while the front or rear wheels are
spinning at different speeds can cause damage to the transfer case.
