Your vehicle has a SelectShift Automatictransmission gearshift lever. This gives youthe ability to change gears up or down,without a clutch, as preferred.
To prevent the engine from running at toolow an RPM, which could cause it to stall,SelectShift still makes some downshiftsif it determines that you have notdownshifted in time. Although SelectShiftmakes some downshifts for you, it stillallows you to downshift at any time if itdetermines that damage to the enginefrom over-revving does not occur.
Note:SelectShift does not automaticallyupshift, even if the engine is approachingthe RPM limit. Shift manually by pressingthe + button.
Note:Engine damage could occur if youmaintain excessive engine revving withoutshifting.

For vehicles with an electronicshift-on-the-fly transfer case, whenshifting into two-wheel drive high on dry,hard surfaced roads, we recommend thatyou follow the following procedure toreduce the likelihood of a mechanical shiftblock:
1.When driving straight, come to acomplete stop on a flat, horizontalsurface.
2.For vehicles with an automatictransmission, shift into park (P). Forvehicles with a manual transmission,press the clutch.
3.Select 2H and wait for the 2H LED tobecome solid.
4.For vehicles with an automatictransmission, shift into reverse (R). Forvehicles with a manual transmission,select reverse (R) and release theclutch. Let the vehicle roll backward upto 3 ft (1 m) and press the brake.
5.For vehicles with an automatictransmission, shift into drive (D). Forvehicles with a manual transmission,press the clutch in again, select aforward gear and release the clutch.Let the vehicle roll forward up to 3 ft(1 m).
If the system is mechanically blocked, oneor more of the following actions can relievethe mechanical shift block:
•Momentary acceleration.
•Momentary braking.
•Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
•Shifting the transmission to neutral andback to drive.
•Shifting the transmission to reverseand back to drive.
•Driving the vehicle around a tight turnat a slow speed.
SWITCHING FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE ON AND OFF
A vehicle that comes with four-wheel drive,when selected, has the ability to use allfour wheels to power itself. This increasestraction, which may enable you to safelydrive over terrain and road conditions thata conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot.
On some four-wheel drive models, theinitial shift from two-wheel drive tofour-wheel drive while the vehicle ismoving can cause a momentary clunk andratcheting sound. These sounds are normalas the front drivetrain comes up to speedand are not cause for concern.

If your vehicle stalls, do not try to turnaround because this could cause yourvehicle to roll over. It is better to reverseback to a safe location.
Do not drive over the crest of a hill withoutseeing what conditions are on the otherside. Do not drive in reverse over a hillwithout the aid of an observer.
If the vehicle is unable to make it up thehill, do not attempt to turn back down theslope.
Apply the accelerator just enough for thewheels to climb the hill.
Note:Too much acceleration can causethe tires to slip, spin or lose traction,resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Descending A Hill:
•Use the same gear you would use toclimb the hill.
•Do not descend in neutral.
•Disengage overdrive.
•Avoid sudden and excessive braking.
Note:The front wheels have to be turningin order to steer your vehicle.
When descending a steep hill in a manualtransmission vehicle do not leave thevehicle in gear with the clutch pressed. Thiscould cause damage to your driveline.
Driving Through Water
WARNING: Do not attempt tocross a deep, fast flowing body of water.Failure to follow this instruction couldresult in the loss of control of yourvehicle, personal injury or death.
As the water depth increases, you mustreduce your vehicle speed to avoidpotential vehicle damage.
The key to a safe crossing is the waterdepth, current and bottom of the water'scondition. On soft bottoms, the vehiclesinks in, effectively increasing the waterlevel on the vehicle. Make sure to considerthis when determining the depth of water.
Determine the depth and speed of thecurrent before attempting a water crossing.
Be aware that obstacles and debris maybe beneath the water’s surface.
Note:Cross flowing water at an angleheading slightly upstream.
Note:You should tread lightly and avoiddamage to the environment.
Drive slowly when crossing water. Proceedwith a constant slow speed lightly pressingon the accelerator.
Drive through the water very slowly whenentering, then build up momentum. Keepyour vehicle moving at a steady pace.
Note:Do not try to accelerate through thewater crossing.
When driving too fast in water or throughdeep water, the engine, transmission,transfer case, axles, electrical componentsor vehicle interior could ingest water. Watercan cause permanent damage that maynot be covered by your vehicle warranty.See Driving Through Water Limitations(page 296).
Note:Failure to follow the recommendedspeeds can result in vehicle damage.
Never stop or shut a vehicle off whencrossing deep water unless your vehicleingested water into the engine air intake.If the engine stalls, do not attempt torestart it.
Ease off the accelerator as you reach theother side to diminish the front wave. Applythe accelerator slowly and as necessaryto climb out of the other side.
