QUADRA-TRAC I® FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Quadra-Trac I® Operating Instructions/Precautions — 3.6L Only
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 (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.
QUADRA-TRAC II®/QUADRA-DRIVE II® FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE
Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive II® Operating Instructions/Precautions
The Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive II®transfer case is fully automatic in the normal
driving 4WD HI mode. The Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive II®transfer case provides
three mode positions:
• 4WD HI
• NEUTRAL
• 4WD LOW
This transfer case is fully automatic in
the 4WD HI mode.
When additional traction is required, the
4WD LOW position can be used to lock
the front and rear driveshafts together
and force the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. The 4WD LOW
position is intended for loose, slippery
surfaces only. Driving in the 4WD LOW
position on dry, hard-surfaced roads may
cause increased tire wear and damage to
driveline components.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW,
the engine speed is approximately three
times that of the 4WD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the
engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature
protection condition exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below 5 mph (8 km/h) Put Trans in
N Press 4 Low” message will flash from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC).
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES (4WD OPERATION)
122

Shifting Procedures
4WD HI To 4WD LOW
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
press the “4WD LOW” button once on the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW”
indicator light in the instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when
the shift is complete.
4WD LOW To 4WD HI
With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and
press the “4WD LOW” button once on the transfer case switch. The “4WD LOW”
indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash and turn off when the shift is
complete.
NOTE:
• If the shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature
protection exists, a “For 4x4 Low Slow Below 5 mph (8 km/h) Put Trans in N Press
4 Low” message will flash on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely stopped;
however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly
aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift
completion to occur. The preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph
(0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case
will not allow the shift.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with the engine running.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
4. If vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Lift™ air suspension, ensure the vehicle is set
to Normal Ride Height.
5. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press and hold the recessed transfer case
NEUTRAL (N) button (located by the selector switch) for four seconds. The light
behind the N symbol will blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete. A “FOUR
WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the EVIC
(Electronic Vehicle Information Center).
6. After the shift is completed and the NEUTRAL (N) light stays on, release the
NEUTRAL (N) button.

7. Shift the transmission into REVERSE.
8. Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle
movement.
Repeat these Steps 1 through 5 to shift out of NEUTRAL.
SELEC-TERRAIN™
Selec-Terrain™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with
driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains.
Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Terrain™ positions:
Snow– Tuning set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road
on loose traction surfaces such as snow. When in Snow mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmission may use second gear (rather than first gear)
during launches, to minimize wheel slippage. If equipped with air suspension, the
level will change to Normal Ride Height (NRH) if the transfer case is in high range.
The level will change to Off-Road 1 if the transfer case is in Low range.
Auto– Fully automatic full time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off
road. Balances traction with seamless steering feel to provide improved handling and
acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles. If equipped with air suspension, the level
will change to NRH.
Sand– Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as sand or wet grass.
Driveline is maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving
surfaces. The electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management
of throttle and wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to
Off-Road 1.
Mud– Off road calibration for use on low traction surfaces such as mud. Driveline is
maximized for traction. Some binding may be felt on less forgiving surfaces. The
electronic brake controls are set to limit traction control management of throttle and
wheel spin. If equipped with air suspension, the level will change to Off-Road 1.
Rock–
Off-road calibration only available in 4WD Low range. The vehicle is raised (if
equipped with Air Suspension) for improved ground clearance. Traction based tuning with
improved steer-ability for use on high traction off-road surfaces. Activate the Hill Descent
Control for steep downhill control. Use for low speed obstacles such as large rocks, deep
ruts, etc. If equipped with air suspension, the vehicle level will change to Off-Road 2.
If the Selec-Terrain™ switch is in ROCK mode, and the transfer case is switched from 4WD
Low to 4WD High, the Selec-Terrain™ system will return to AUTO.
