The least amount of accelerator pedal pressure to main-
tain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels or
racing the engine, is most effective. Racing the engine or
spinning the wheels, due to the frustration of not freeing
the vehicle, may lead to transmission overheating and
failure. Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in
NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every five
rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating
and reduce the risk of transmission failure during pro-
longed efforts to free a stuck vehicle.

CAUTION!

When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between
“First” and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster
than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may
result.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION

Quadra-Trac I

Operating

Instructions/Precautions — If Equipped

The Quadra-Trac I

௡ is a single-speed (HI range only)

transfer case, which provides convenient full-time four–
wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake
Traction Control System (BTC), which combines standard
ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance to any
wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer
to wheels with traction.

NOTE:

The Quadra-Trac I

௡ system is not appropriate

for conditions where 4WD LOW range is recommended.
Refer to “Off-Road Driving Tips” in this section.
