FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
Your 4x4 features a heavy-duty
Control Trac system, includes a
computer-operated transfer case.
Coupled with a
center-disconnected front axle, this
unique system is interactive with
the road, continually monitoring
and adjusting torque delivery to
the front and rear wheels to
optimize vehicle control.
Positions of the Control Trac
system
The Control Trac A4WD system
functions in four modes:
²2Hposition delivers power only
to the rear axle.
²A4WDposition delivers power
to the rear axle, and the front
axle when road conditions
dictate the need for increased
traction.
²4Hposition provides
mechanically locked four-wheel
drive power delivery to front
and rear axles.
²4Lposition provides
mechanically locked four-wheel
drive when above average power
at reduced speeds is required.

4. Lower the vehicle by turning the
jack handle counterclockwise.
5. Remove the jack and fully
tighten the lug nuts to the proper
torque specifications in the order
shown.
Never use wheels or lug
nuts different than the
original equipment as this could
damage the wheel or mounting
system. This damage could allow
the wheels to come off while the
vehicle is being driven.
6. Replace any wheel covers,
ornaments or hub caps that your
vehicle may have. Make sure that
they are screwed or snapped into
place.
7. Put the jack and wrench away.
Ensure that the jack is securely
fastened.
8. To stow the flat tire, lay the tire
on the ground with the inboard
side facing up. Install the retainer
through the wheel center and slide
the wheel under the vehicle. Turn
the spare handle clockwise until
the spare tire is raised to its
original position underneath the
vehicle. The spare handle ratchets
when the tire is raised to the
stowed position. It will not allow
you to overtighten.

lug nuts at mileages
specified could allow wheels to
come off while the vehicle is in
motion.
