Four-Wheel Drive

If the vehicle has Four-Wheel Drive, you can send the
engine's driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction. To get the most satisfaction out of Four-Wheel
Drive, you must be familiar with its operation. Read the
following before using Four-Wheel Drive. See the
appropriate text for the transfer case in the vehicle.

Notice: Driving on clean, dry pavement in
Four-Wheel-Drive High or Four-Wheel-Drive Low for
an extended period of time may cause premature
wear on your vehicle's powertrain. Do not drive on
clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel-Drive High or
Four-Wheel-Drive Low for extended periods of time.

While driving on clean dry pavement and during tight
turns, you may experience vibration in the steering
system.

If the vehicle has StabiliTrak

®

, shifting into

Four-Wheel-Drive Low will turn Traction Control and
StabiliTrak

®

off. See StabiliTrak

®

System on page 5‑6.

Front Axle

The front axle engages and disengages automatically
when you shift the transfer case. Some delay for the
axle to engage or disengage is normal.

Manual Transfer Case

The transfer case shift lever is on the floor to the right of
the driver. Use this lever to shift into and out of
Four-Wheel Drive.
