7 ELEC tRoNIC S hIFt 4WD SYStE m*
The electronic shift 4WD system allows you to
choose between 2WD, 4x4 AUTO, 4x4 HIGH or
4x4 LOW.
2h (2WD) provides power to the rear wheels only.
This is appropriate for normal, on-road driving on
dry pavement, providing optimal smoothness and
fuel economy at high speeds.
4A (4x4 AUto) provides electronically controlled
four-wheel drive with power delivered to the front
and rear wheels, as required, for increased traction.
This is appropriate for all on-road driving condtions,
including dry road surfaces, but is especially useful
on wet pavement, snow, dirt or gravel.
4h (4x4 h IGh) delivers extra gearing for maximum
power to all four wheels at reduced speeds. This
intended for use in situations such as deep sand,
steep grades or pulling heavy objects.
4L (4x4 L oW) mechanically locks into four-wheel
drive when extra power at reduced speeds is
required. Use this setting for off-road, low-speed
operation such as climbing steep grades, going
through deep sand or pulling a boat out of the water.
Note: Do not use 4H or 4L on dry, hard-surfaced
roads. Doing so can produce extra noise and
increase tire wear. For more complete details,
refer to the Four-Wheel Drive section of your
Owner’s Manual.
