Using the Control Trac 4WD system

4X4 AUTO - Provides electronically-controlled four-wheel drive with
power delivered to all four wheels as required for traction. This mode is
appropriate for all on-road driving conditions, including dry road
surfaces, wet pavement, snow and gravel.

4X4 HIGH (4WD High) - Provides locked four-wheel drive power to all
four wheels. This mode is not intended for use on dry pavement. This
mode is appropriate for severe winter and off-road conditions, such as
deep snow, ice or shallow sand.

4X4 LOW (4WD Low) - Provides locked four-wheel drive power when
extra power at reduced speeds is required. This mode is not
recommended for use on dry pavement. Use this mode 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.
