ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
• This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which providesconvenient 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 is an 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 provides three mode positions:
• All-wheel drive automatic range (AWD AUTO)
• All-wheel drive low range (LOW RANGE)
• Neutral (NEUTRAL)
• When additional traction is required, the LOW RANGE position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together forcing 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 increased tire wear and damage to the driveline 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.

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) orcompletely 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 transmissionback 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
84

• Press and hold the brake pedal and shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Press and hold the transfer case N (Neutral) button for four seconds, until the lightnext to the N symbol starts to blink, indicating shift in progress. The light will stop
blinking (stay on solid) when the shift to N (Neutral) is complete.
• Start the engine and shift the transmission into REVERSE.
• Release the brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement.
• Turn the engine off and firmly apply the parking brake.
• Shift the transmission into PARK and remove the Key Fob.
• Attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle using a suitable tow bar and release the parking brake.
CAUTION!
• Towing with the rear wheels on the ground will cause severe transmissiondamage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
• Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used
when recreational towing.
• It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal
parts.
WARNING!
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 even if the
transmission is in PARK. The parking brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when coldand inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD
OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER
INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue each time the vehicle is
restarted as long as the malfunction exists.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
89

• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able todetect 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: Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air
temperature 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- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied,
it indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an
Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
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.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light
stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
