• 4L (4X4 LOW) provides electronically locked four-wheel drive when
extra power at reduced speeds is required. The message center will
display “4X4 LOW” when this position is selected. This position is not
recommended for use on dry pavement. Use this position for off-road
low-speed operation or when extra power is required, such as climbing
steep grades, going through deep sand or pulling a boat out of the
water.

AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system will automatically turn off the stability

turned off manually by pressing the AdvanceTrac

maneuvers. This will disable the engine management feature, allowing
the vehicle to maintain full power and enhanced momentum through the
obstacle.

designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any

under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in
these vehicles.
Note: The Control Trac selector knob should not be changed while the
rear wheels are slipping.
