2WD - Power to the rear wheels only; used for street and highway
driving.

4X4 HIGH - Used for extra traction such as in snow or icy roads or in
off-road situations. Not intended for use on dry pavement.

4X4 LOW - Uses extra gearing to provide maximum power to all four
wheels. Intended only for off-road applications such as deep sand, steep
grades or pulling heavy objects. 4X4 LOW will not engage while the
vehicle is moving; this is normal and should be no reason for concern.
Refer to Shifting to/from 4X4 for proper operation.

Shifting between 2WD and 4X4 HIGH

• Move the 4WD control between 2WD and 4X4 HIGH at any forward

speed.

Note: Do not perform this operation if the rear wheels are slipping.

Shifting to/from 4X4 LOW

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop

2. Depress the brake

3. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, place the

transmission in N (Neutral); on vehicles equipped with a manual
transmission, depress the clutch.

• If shifting into 4X4 LOW, wait for the 4WD LOW light in the

instrument cluster to turn on indicating the shift is complete.
