ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides
convenient full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake Traction
Control (BTC) System, 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:
This system is not appropriate for conditions where AWD LOW range is recommended. Refer
to “Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Three-Position Switch)
This electronic shift transfer case and is operated by the AWD Control Switch (Transfer
Case Switch), which is located on the center console.
This electronically shifted transfer case pro-
vides three mode positions:
•All-wheeldriveautomaticrange(AWD
AUTO)
•All-wheeldrivelowrange(LOWRANGE)
•Neutral(NEUTRAL)
When additional traction is required, the
LOW RANGE position can be used to lock
the front and rear driveshafts together forc-
ing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the
same speed. The LOW RANGE position are
designed for loose, slippery road surfaces
only. Driving in the LOW RANGE positions
on dry hard surfaced roads may cause in-
creased tire wear and damage to the drive-
line components.
When operating your vehicle in LOW RANGE, the engine speed is approximately three
times that of the AWD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the
engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
The “SERV AWD Warning Light” monitors the electronic shift all-wheel drive system.
If this light remains on after engine start up or illuminates during driving, it means that the
all-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is required.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Ti r e p r e s s u r e s c h a n g e b y a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 p s i ( 7 k P a ) p e r 1 2 ° F ( 7 ° C ) o f a i r t e m p e r a t u r e
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is
32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your
vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is
at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic
system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the
light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal
pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated
by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) are also equipped with
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake
Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system
is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately
two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized
dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
-MalfunctionIndicatorLight(MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system called
OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light will
illuminate when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked
promptly.
Certain conditions, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start. The
vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving
cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause damage
to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and driveability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur.
Immediate service is required.

-Anti-LockBrake(ABS)Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position and may stay on for as long as four
seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion
of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the
conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is
not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore
the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
-ElectronicThrottleControl(ETC)Light
This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the
ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever/gear selector is
placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable.
However, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing when the
engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
-AirBagWarningLight
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch
is first turned to the ON/RUN position. If the light is either not on during starting, stays on,
or turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
The Air Bag System is designed to be maintenance free.
