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.
