Shifting Procedures
AWD AUTO To LOW RANGE
NOTE:When shifting into or out of LOW
RANGE some gear noise may be heard.
This noise is normal and is not
detrimental to the vehicle or occupants.
• Shifting can be performed with the
vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to
5 km/h) or completely stopped. Use
either of the following procedures:
Preferred Procedure
• With the engine running, slow the
vehicle to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).
• Shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• While still rolling, rotate the transfer
case control switch to the desired
position.
• After the desired position indicator
light is ON (not flashing), shift the
transmission back into gear.
Alternate Procedure
• Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
• With the ignition switch in the ON
position and the engine either OFF or
running, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
• Rotate the transfer case control
switch to the desired position.
• After the desired position indicator
light is ON (not flashing), shift the
transmission back into gear.NOTE:
• If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferred
or Alternate Procedure are not satisfied
prior to attempting the shift or if they
no longer are being met while the shift
attempt is in process, the desired
position indicator light will flash
continuously while the original position
indicator light is ON, until all
requirements have been met.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for a shift to take place and for
the position indicator lights to be
operable. If the ignition switch is not in
the ON position, then the shift will not
take place and no position indicator
lights will be on or flashing.
WARNING!
• Always engage the parking brake
when powering down the vehicle if
the “SERV AWD Warning Light” is
illuminated. Not engaging the
parking brake may allow the
vehicle to roll which may cause
personal injury.
• You or others could be injured if
you leave the vehicle unattended
with the transfer case in the
NEUTRAL position without first
fully engaging the parking brake.
The transfer case NEUTRAL
position disengages both the front
and rear driveshafts from the
powertrain and will allow the
vehicle to move regardless of the
transmission position. The parking
brake should always be applied
when the driver is not in the
vehicle.
OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES
59

TOW/HAUL MODE
• When driving in hilly areas, towing a
trailer, carrying a heavy load, etc.,
and frequent transmission shifting
occurs, press the TOW/HAUL switch
to select TOW/HAUL mode. This will
improve performance and reduce the
potential for transmission
overheating or failure due to
excessive shifting. When operating in
TOW/HAUL mode, transmission
upshifts are delayed, and the
transmission will automatically
downshift (for engine braking) during
steady braking maneuvers.
• The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light”
will illuminate in the instrument
cluster to indicate that TOW/HAUL
mode has been activated. Pressing
the switch a second time restores
normal operation. If the TOW/HAUL
mode is desired, the switch must be
pressed each time the engine is
started.
RECREATIONAL

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we
recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the
tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash
during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as
possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
The light also flashes when TCS is active. To improve the vehicle's traction when
starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC
system to Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
switch
located below the climate controls, on the switch panel.
- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging
system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with
the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four
minutes when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we
recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
- Electronic Throttle Control (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 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.
