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
LIMITATIONS
Do not use four-wheel drive high orfour-wheel drive low mode on dry, hardsurfaced roads. Doing so can produceexcessive noise, increase tire wear and candamage driveline components. Four-wheeldrive high or four-wheel drive low mode isonly for use on consistently slippery orloose surfaces. Use of four-wheel drive lowmode on these surfaces could producesome noise, such as occasional clunks, butshould not damage driveline components.
For vehicles with an electronicshift-on-the-fly transfer case, the drivelinecould become mechanically blocked whenattempting to shift out of a four-wheeldrive mode on dry, hard surfaced roads.
Note:When your vehicle comes with the4x4 part-time selectable engagementtransfer case and you are transitioning fromconsistently loose or slippery surfaces, besure the four-wheel drive system is notmechanically blocked once you are on dry,hard surfaced roads in two-wheel drive high.
Note: In certain scenarios, where thefour-wheel drive system has difficultyengaging, a To Engage 4x4 Slow to 3 MPHor To Engage 4x4 Slow to 5 km/hmessage could appear in the instrumentcluster. You can also see this messagewhen engaging the four-wheel drive systemin extreme cold climates at the beginningof the drive cycle. Once the driveline warmsup, shifting to four-wheel drive can resumeas normal.
Operating Four-Wheel Drive witha Spare or Mismatched Tires
On four-wheel drive vehicles, the size ofthe spare tire can affect the four-wheeldrive system.
If there is a significant difference betweenthe size of the spare tire and the remainingtires, you could have limited four-wheeldrive functionality, added noise, discomfortand driveline damage.
Due to normal tire wear, your spare tire isnot necessarily the same size as youron-road tires, which makes your spare tirea dissimilar size. Use the spare tire on alimited basis only.
When driving with a dissimilar wheel andtire assembly do not:
•Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) whenoperating in a four-wheel drive mode.
•Select a four-wheel drive mode unlessthe vehicle is stationary.
•Use a four-wheel drive mode on drypavement.
You could have limited four-wheel drivefunctionality when driving with a dissimilarwheel and tire assembly, especially whendriving in a mechanically locked four-wheeldrive mode. You can experience thefollowing:
•Additional noise from the transfer caseor other drive components.
•Difficulty shifting in and out of amechanically locked four-wheel drivemode.
•Driveline component damage.
Mechanical Shift Blocking
On vehicles with an electronicshift-on-the-fly transfer case, the transfercase distributes torque to the front wheelsby mechanically interlocking the front andrear driveshafts together. Various externalfactors can affect shifting performance ofthis type of system including, but notlimited to:
•Vehicle acceleration.
•Dissimilar tire sizes.
•High steering input.
