AWD AUTO position at a given road speed. Take care not

to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph

Proper operation of all-wheel drive vehicles depends on

tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel.

Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the

transfer case.

Because all-wheel drive provides improved traction,

there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping

speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit.

You or others could be injured if you leave the

vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the

NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the

parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position

disengages both the front and rear driveshafts 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.

For additional information on the appropriate use of each

transfer case mode position, see the information below:

All-Wheel Drive Auto Range - This range sends power to

the rear wheels. The all–wheel drive system will be

automatically engaged when the vehicle senses a loss of

traction. Additional traction for varying road conditions.
