Four-Wheel Drive

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your
engine’s driving power to all four wheels for extra
traction. To get the best performance out of four-wheel
drive, you must be familiar with its operation. Read the
part that follows before using four-wheel drive. You
should use two-wheel-drive high for most normal driving
conditions.

Notice: Driving on clean, dry pavement in
four-wheel drive for an extended period of time can
cause premature wear on your vehicle’s powertrain.
Do not drive on clean, dry pavement in Four-Wheel
Drive for extended periods of time.

Notice: If your vehicle has four-wheel drive and the
compact spare tire is installed on your vehicle, do
not drive in four-wheel drive until you can have
your flat tire repaired and/or replaced. You could
damage your vehicle, and the repair costs would not
be covered by your warranty. Never use four-wheel
drive when the compact spare tire is installed
on your vehicle.

The transfer case buttons are located to the right of the
steering wheel on the instrument panel.
