WHAT IS THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
The catalytic converter is part of your
vehicle's emissions system and filters harmful
pollutants from the exhaust gas.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not park, idle or drive
your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. WARNING:
The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is very
high. Never work around or attempt to
repair any part of the exhaust system until
it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very
high temperature after only a short period
of engine operation and stays hot after the
engine is switched off. WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result
in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:
• Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.
• Do not run the engine with a spark plug
lead disconnected. •
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See Jump
Starting the Vehicle (page 392).
• Use the correct fuel.
See Fuel and
Refueling (page 210).
• Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information performed
according to the specified schedule.
Note: Do not make any unauthorized
changes to your vehicle or engine. By law,
vehicle owners and anyone who
manufactures, repairs, or services a fleet of
vehicles are not permitted to intentionally
remove an emission control device or
prevent it from working.

HOW DOES FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
WORK
Using the 1-Speed Automatic Four-
Wheel Drive System
The 1-speed automatic four-wheel drive
system utilizes an electronically controlled
on-demand 1-speed transfer case. This
system monitors various vehicle sensory
inputs to provide an increased level of
performance. This system offers the driver
two-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive auto
and four-wheel drive high as available modes
of operation via the selectable drive mode
switch. When four-wheel drive auto is
selected, the system continuously varies
power to the front wheels for optimum
performance for all on-road conditions. When
four-wheel drive high is selected, the system
provides power to the front and rear wheels
for use in off-road or slippery conditions such
as deep snow, sand or mud. There is further
information on driving in unique driving
conditions. See Driving Hints (page 384).
Using the 2-Speed Automatic Four-
Wheel Drive System
(If Equipped)
The 2-speed automatic four-wheel drive
system utilizes an electronically controlled
on-demand 2-speed transfer case. This
system monitors various vehicle sensory
inputs to provide an increased level of
performance. This system offers the driver
two-wheel drive high, four-wheel drive auto,
four-wheel drive high, and four-wheel drive
low as available modes of operation. When
four-wheel drive auto is selected, the system
continuously varies power to the front wheels
for optimum performance for all on-road
conditions. When either four-wheel drive high
or four-wheel drive low are selected with the
appropriate drive modes , the four-wheel
drive system provides electronically locked
power to the front and rear wheels for use
in off-road or slippery conditions such as
deep snow, sand or mud. Selecting slow
climb also provides additional gearing for
increased torque multiplication for conditions
like deep sand, snow, steep slopes, or pulling heavy objects.
See Slow Climb (page 296).
Additionally, the system is capable of
recreational flat towing by putting the
transfer case into neutral (N).
See
Recreationally Towing Your Vehicle (page
397).
There is further information on driving in
unique driving conditions. See Driving Hints
(page
384).
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Vehicles with a higher
center of gravity (utility and four-wheel
drive vehicles) handle differently than
vehicles with a lower center of gravity
(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,
excessive speed and abrupt steering in
these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously
increases the risk of losing control of your
vehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
223
2022 Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Four-Wheel Drive
(If Equipped)
Page 228 of 646
WARNING: Do not become
overconfident in the ability of four-wheel
drive vehicles. Although a four-wheel drive
vehicle may accelerate better than a
two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction
situations, it won't stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive at
a safe speed.
Truck and utility vehicles can differ from
some other vehicles. Your vehicle could be
higher to allow it to travel over rough terrain
without getting stuck or damaging
underbody components. The differences that
make your vehicle so versatile also make it
handle differently than an ordinary passenger
car. Always maintain steering wheel control,
especially in rough terrain. Since sudden
changes in terrain can result in abrupt
steering wheel motion, make sure you grip
the steering wheel from the outside. Do not
grip the spokes. Drive cautiously to avoid
vehicle damage from concealed objects such as rocks and stumps. Drive slower in strong
crosswinds which can affect the normal
steering characteristics of your vehicle. Be
extremely careful when driving on pavement
made slippery by loose sand, water, gravel,
snow or ice.
Note:
Do not use four-wheel drive high or
four-wheel drive low mode on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so can produce
excessive noise, increase tire wear and can
damage drive components.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE LIMITATIONS
Operating Four-Wheel Drive with a
Spare or Mismatched Tires
(If Equipped)
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of the
spare tire can affect the four-wheel drive
system. If there is a significant difference
between the size of the spare tire and the
remaining tires, you could have limited
four-wheel drive functionality. When driving
with the full-size dissimilar spare wheel and
tire assembly, we recommend that you do
not: •
Exceed
50 mph (80 km/h) with a
four-wheel drive mode turned on.
• Use a four-wheel drive mode on dry
pavement.
Driving with the full-size dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly can limit four-wheel
drive functionality. You can experience the
following:
• Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.
Use of a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly can lead to impairment of the
following:
• Comfort and noise.
• Winter weather driving capability.
• Wet driving capability.
• Four-wheel drive capability.
Note: Your vehicle could have a front air
dam that can become damaged, due to
reduced ground clearance, when taking your
vehicle off-road. You can remove this air
dam by removing the eight bolts that secure
it.

Note:
Your vehicle could have side steps
that can become damaged, due to reduced
ground clearance, when taking your vehicle
off-road. Remove side steps before driving
your vehicle off-road.
SELECTING A FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
MODE
To select a specific four-wheel drive mode
please select one of the desired drive
modes. For additional information. See
Selecting a Drive Mode (page 294).
Note: When shifting to and from four-wheel
drive information display will show shifting
in progress message indicating that the
system is in the process of making a shift.
Note: Do not perform this operation if the
rear wheels are slipping or while applying
the accelerator pedal.
If the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information display.
See
Four-Wheel Drive – Information
Messages (page 229). Note:
Do not use SLIPPERY, DEEP
CONDITIONS or SLOW CLIMB on dry, hard
surfaced roads. Doing so produces
excessive noise, increases tire wear and may
damage drive components. The 4X4 system
in these modes is only intended for
consistently slippery or loose surfaces.
Shifting to or from Slow Climb (4L)
To select or exit SLOW CLIMB (4L):
1. Bring your vehicle to a speed of
3.1 mph
(5 km/h) or less.
2. Place the transmission in neutral (N).
3. Select SLOW CLIMB on the drive mode control switch.
The information display will display a
message indicating a four-wheel drive shift
is in progress. If any of the above shift
conditions are not present, the shift will not
occur and the information display will display
information guiding the driver through the
proper shifting procedures. If there is a
transfer case tooth blockage a message will display in the information display. To alleviate
this condition, place the transmission in a
forward gear, move your vehicle forward
approximately
4.9 ft (1.5 m), and shift the
transmission back to neutral (N) to allow the
transfer case to complete the range shift.
Note: You could hear some noise as the
system shifts or engages which is normal. If
the system detects a fault, a warning
message appears in the information display.
