FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
1–SPEED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4X4)
This feature provides on-demand Four-Wheel Drive (4X4) with no driver inputs or
additional driving skills required.
Under normal driving conditions, the front wheels provide most of the traction.
If the front wheels begin to lose traction,
power is shifted automatically to the rear
wheels.
NOTE:
On dry pavement under heavy throttle
input (where one may have no wheel
spin), torque will be sent to the rear
wheels to improve vehicle launch and
performance characteristics.
2–SPEED FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE (4X4)
This electronically shifted Power Transfer Unit provides three mode positions:
• Four-wheel drive low range (4X4 LOW)
• REAR LOCK
• NEUTRAL (N)
The 4X4 LOW range can be used when
additional traction is required to force the
front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed.
4X4 LOW is intended for loose, slippery
road surfaces only.
