CLIMATE CONTROL HINTS
General Hints
•Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to fog up.
•You may feel a small amount of airfrom the footwell air vents regardlessof the air distribution setting.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside yourvehicle, do not drive with the systemswitched off or with recirculated airalways switched on.
•Do not place objects under the frontseats as this may interfere with theairflow to the rear seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves fromthe air intake area at the base of thewindshield.
•To improve the time to reach acomfortable temperature in hotweather, drive with the windows openuntil you feel cold air through the airvents.
Automatic Climate Control
•Adjusting the settings when yourvehicle interior is extremely hot or coldis not necessary. Automatic mode isbest recommended to maintain settemperature.
•The system adjusts to heat or cool theinterior to the temperature you selectas quickly as possible.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE AUTO
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 Drive Mode (page303).
Note:Four-wheel drive auto can turn on oroff automatically based on Drive Modeselection. See Selecting a Drive Mode(page 303).
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE HIGH (If Equipped)
Four-wheel drive high provideselectronically locked four-wheel drivepower to both the front and rear wheelsfor use in off-road or winter conditionssuch as deep snow, sand or mud. Thismode is not for use on dry pavement.
Note:Four-wheel drive high can turn on oroff automatically based on Drive Modeselection. See Selecting a Drive Mode(page 303).
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE LOW (If Equipped)
Four-wheel drive low provideselectronically locked four-wheel drivepower to both the front and rear wheelsfor use on low traction surfaces, but doesso with additional gearing for increasedtorque multiplication. This mode is only foroff-road conditions such as deep sand,steep slopes, or pulling heavy objects.
Note:Four-wheel drive low can turn on oroff automatically based on drive modeselection. See Selecting a Drive Mode(page 303).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE DRIVING
HINTS
DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all fourwheels on the most solid area of the trail.Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shiftto a lower gear and drive steadily throughthe terrain. Apply the accelerator slowlyand avoid excessive wheel slip.
When driving at slow speeds in deep sandunder high outside temperatures, use a lowgear when possible. Low gear operationcan maximize the engine and transmissioncooling capability.
