SHIFTING USING THE BUTTONSON THE SELECTOR LEVER
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.

This system offers the driver two-wheeldrive high, four-wheel drive high, andfour-wheel drive low as available modesof operation. When you select eitherfour-wheel drive high or four-wheel drivelow, the system provides mechanicallylocked four-wheel drive power to both thefront and rear wheels for use in off-road orslippery conditions such as deep snow,sand or mud. Selecting four-wheel drivelow also provides additional gearing forincreased torque multiplication forconditions like deep sand, steep slopes, orpulling heavy objects.
Additionally, the system is capable ofrecreational flat towing by putting thetransfer case into neutral (N). SeeRecreationally Towing Your Vehicle(page 309).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not becomeoverconfident in the ability of four-wheeldrive vehicles. Although a four-wheeldrive vehicle may accelerate better thana two-wheel drive vehicle in low tractionsituations, it won't stop any faster thantwo-wheel drive vehicles. Always driveat a safe speed.
WARNING: Vehicles with a highercenter of gravity (utility and four-wheeldrive vehicles) handle differently thanvehicles with a lower center of gravity(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,excessive speed and abrupt steering inthese vehicles. Failure to drive cautiouslyincreases the risk of losing control of yourvehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE MODES
TWO-WHEEL DRIVE HIGH
Two-wheel drive high is for generalon-road driving. Power is sent to the rearwheels only.
Note:Two-wheel drive high can turn on oroff based on Drive Mode selection SeeG.O.A.T. Mode Control (page 242).
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE AUTO (If
Equipped)
Four-wheel drive auto provideselectronically controlled four-wheel drivepower to both the front and rear wheels,as required, for increased traction in varyingon-road conditions. The four-wheel driveauto tuning varies based on selected DriveMode. See Selecting a Four-Wheel DriveMode (page 184).
Note:Four-wheel drive auto can turn on oroff automatically based on Drive Modeselection. See Selecting a Four-WheelDrive Mode (page 184).
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE HIGH
Four-wheel drive high provideselectronically or mechanically lockedfour-wheel drive power to both the frontand rear wheels for use in off-road orwinter conditions such as deep snow, sandor mud. This mode is not for use on drypavement.
Note:Four-wheel drive high can turn on oroff automatically based on Drive Modeselection.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE LOW
Four-wheel drive low provideselectronically or mechanically lockedfour-wheel drive power to both the frontand rear wheels for use on low tractionsurfaces, but does so with additionalgearing for increased torque multiplication.This mode is only for off-road conditionssuch as deep sand, steep slopes, or pullingheavy objects.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic locking differential is adevice housed in the front or rear axle and,when activated allows both wheels on thataxle to turn at the same speed. Theelectronic locking differential can provideadditional traction should your vehiclebecome stuck. You can activate thedifferential electronically and shift it on thefly within the operating speed range. Theelectronic differential automaticallydisengages when the vehicle speedexceeds a set value and it automaticallyreengages when the vehicle speed goesbelow a set value. See Switching theElectronic Locking Differential On andOff (page 190). It also automaticallyengages based on certain selected G.O.A.Tmodes. See G.O.A.T. Mode Control(page 242). The electronic lockingdifferential is for use in mud, rocks, sand,or any off-road condition where you needmaximum traction. It is not for use on drypavement.
Note:The electronic locking differentialsare for off-road use only and not for use ondry pavement. Using the electronic lockingdifferentials on dry pavement results inincreased tire wear, noise and vibration ordriveline damage.
Note:The front electronic lockingdifferential is only available in four-wheeldrive low (4L).
Note:Locking the front differential reducesyour ability to make tight turning maneuversand creates additional resistance to steeringinputs.
Note:Switching the electronic lockingdifferentials off while turning results indisengagement difficulties. If the electroniclocking differential has difficultydisengaging, release the accelerator pedaland turn the steering wheel back and forthin small increments while maintainingcontrol and following a straight line.

BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Driving your vehiclewith the warning lamp on is dangerous.A significant decrease in brakingperformance may occur. It may take youlonger to stop your vehicle. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible.Driving extended distances with theparking brake engaged can cause brakefailure and the risk of personal injury.
Wet brakes result in reduced brakingefficiency. Gently press the brake pedal afew times when leaving a car wash ordriving from standing water to dry thebrakes.
Note:Depending on applicable laws andregulations in the country for which yourvehicle was originally built, the stoplampscould flash during heavy braking. Followingthis the hazard warning flashers could alsoturn on when your vehicle comes to a stop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMLIMITATIONS
The anti-lock braking system does noteliminate the risk of crash when:
•You drive too closely to the vehicle infront of you.
•Your vehicle is hydroplaning.
•You take corners too fast.
•The road surface is poor.
Note: If the system activates, the brakepedal could pulse and travel further.Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.
BRAKE OVER ACCELERATOR
In the event the accelerator pedalbecomes stuck or entrapped, apply steadyand firm pressure to the brake pedal toslow the vehicle and reduce engine power.If you experience this condition, apply thebrakes and bring your vehicle to a safestop. Move the transmission to park (P),switch the engine off and apply the parkingbrake. Inspect the accelerator pedal forany interference. If none are found and thecondition persists, have your vehicle towedto the nearest authorized dealer.

CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID
WARNING: Do not use any fluidother than the recommended brake fluidas this will reduce brake efficiency. Useof incorrect fluid could result in the lossof vehicle control, serious personal injuryor death.

WARNING: Only use brake fluidfrom a sealed container. Contaminationwith dirt, water, petroleum products orother materials may result in brakesystem damage or failure. Failure toadhere to this warning could result in theloss of vehicle control, serious personalinjury or death.
WARNING: Do not allow the fluidto touch your skin or eyes. If thishappens, rinse the affected areasimmediately with plenty of water andcontact your physician.
WARNING: The brake systemcould be affected if the brake fluid levelis below the MIN mark or above the MAXmark on the brake fluid reservoir.
1.Park your vehicle on a level surface.
2.Look at the brake fluid reservoir to seewhere the brake fluid level is relativeto the MIN and the MAX marks on thereservoir.
Note:To avoid fluid contamination, thereservoir cap must remain in place and fullytight, unless you are adding fluid.
Only use fluid that meets ourspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 401).
