damage drive components. Whentransitioning from consistently loose orslippery surfaces, be sure the four-wheeldrive system is not mechanically blockedonce on dry, hard surface roads intwo-wheel drive high.
Operating Four-Wheel Drive witha Spare or Worn Tires
Your four-wheel drive system is notintended to provide full function with tiresthat have different levels of wear or witha dissimilar spare tire. Incorrect use offour-wheel drive with such tires can causesystem damage.
If there is a difference in the level of wearamong tires on the vehicle or if you installa dissimilar spare tire on the vehicle, do notuse 4WD High or 4WD Low (if equipped)other than to get your vehicle unstuck.After getting your vehicle unstuck, shift to2H by performing the following steps:
1.Come to a stop on a flat, horizontalsurface
2.Shift the transmission to park (P) forautomatic transmissions and neutral(N) for manual transmissions.
3.Switch to two-wheel drive mode.
4.Shift the transmission to reverse (R).
5.Shift the transmission to drive (D) forautomatic transmissions and to firstgear for manual transmissions. Thisensures the transfer case system is nottrapped in place.
Mechanical Shift Blocking
On four-wheel drive vehicles with amechanically locked four-wheel drive highmode, the transfer case distributes torqueto the front wheels by mechanicallyinterlocking the front and rear driveshaftstogether. Various external factors affectshifting performance of this type of systemincluding, but not limited to:
•Vehicle acceleration.
•Dissimilar tire sizes.
•Steering input.
If the system detects a mechanical shiftblockage at speed after you selecttwo-wheel drive high, the message "4x4Unable to Disengage See Manual", coulddisplay momentarily. If this messagedisplays, one or more of the followingactions can relieve the mechanical shiftblock:
•Momentary acceleration.
•Momentary braking.
•Bringing the vehicle to a stop.
•Shifting the transmission to neutral andback to drive.
•Shifting the transmission to reverseand back to drive.
•Driving the vehicle around a tight turnat a slow speed.
SWITCHING FOUR-WHEEL
DRIVE ON AND OFF
A vehicle that comes with four-wheel drive,when selected, has the ability to use allfour wheels to power itself. This increasestraction, which may enable you to safelydrive over terrain and road conditions thata conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot.
On some four-wheel drive models, theinitial shift from two-wheel drive tofour-wheel drive while the vehicle ismoving can cause a momentary clunk andratcheting sound. These sounds are normalas the front drivetrain comes up to speedand are not cause for concern.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic locking differential is adevice housed in the rear axle and whenactivated, allows both wheels on that axleto turn at the same speed. The electroniclocking differential provides additionaltraction should your vehicle become stuck.
HOW DOES THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
WORK
You can activate the differentialelectronically and shift it on the fly withinthe operating speed range. The electronicdifferential disengages when the vehiclespeed exceeds a set value and it reengageswhen the vehicle speed drops below a setvalue. See Switching the ElectronicLocking Differential On and Off (page245). The electronic locking differentialcould engage based on certain selecteddrive modes. See Selecting a Drive Mode(page 311). The electronic lockingdifferential is for use in mud, rocks, sand,or any off-road condition where you needmaximum traction.
Note:The electronic locking differential isfor off-road use only and is not for use ondry pavement. Using the electronic lockingdifferential on dry pavement results inincreased tire wear, noise and vibration.
Note:The electronic locking differentialactivates or deactivates automaticallybased on speed, four-wheel drive mode, anddrive mode selection. See Switching theElectronic Locking Differential On andOff (page 245).
ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Operating the Electronic LockingDifferential with a Spare orMismatched Tires
On vehicles with an electronic lockingdifferential, the size of the spare tire canaffect performance of the system. If thereis a significant difference between the tworear tires, you may have limited electroniclocking differential functionality. If thesystem has difficulty disengaging, releasethe accelerator pedal and turn the steeringwheel in the opposite direction whenrolling. We recommend engaging anddisengaging the electronic lockingdifferential at a stop when you mount aspare on the rear axle.
SWITCHING THE ELECTRONIC
LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL ON
AND OFF - 4X4
Press the electronic lock differential switchto engage and disengage the lockingdifferential.

WARNING: The system may notdetect small or moving objects,particularly those close to the ground.
WARNING: The parking aid systemcan only assist you to detect objectswhen your vehicle is moving at parkingspeeds. To help avoid personal injury youmust take care when using the parkingaid system.
WARNING: The system may notfunction if the sensor is blocked.
WARNING: In cold and severeweather conditions the system may notfunction. Rain, snow and spray can alllimit sensor performance.
WARNING: If damage occurs in theimmediate area surrounding the sensor,have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Note:If your vehicle sustains damageleaving the sensors misaligned, this willcause inaccurate measurements or falsealerts.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,the rear parking aid detects the trailer andprovides an alert. Disable the parking aidwhen you connect a trailer to prevent thealert.
Note:Connected trailers might be detectedby the vehicle and parking aid turns offautomatically in those instances.
Note:Certain add-on devices installedaround the bumper or fascia may createfalse alerts, for example, large trailerhitches, bike or surfboard racks, license platebrackets, bumper covers or any other devicethat could block the normal detection zoneof the parking aid system. Aftermarket sparetires or spare tire covers mounted to the reartailgate could cause false alerts from thepark aid system. Remove the add-on deviceto prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, iceand large accumulations of dirt. If thesensors are covered, the system's accuracycan be affected.

Your vehicle may have a temporary orconventional spare tire. A temporary sparetire is different in diameter or width,tread-type, or is from a differentmanufacturer than the road tires on yourvehicle. Consult information on the tirelabel or Safety Compliance label forlimitations when using.
When towing a trailer:
•Obey country specific regulations fortowing a trailer.
•Do not drive faster than 70 mph(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi(800 km).
•Do not make full-throttle starts.
•Check your hitch, electrical connectionsand trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughlyafter you have traveled 50 mi (80 km).
•When stopped in congested or heavytraffic during hot weather, place thetransmission in park (P) to aid engineand transmission cooling and to helpA/C performance.
•Turn off the speed control with heavyloads or in hilly terrain. The speedcontrol may turn off when you aretowing on long, steep slopes.
•Shift to a lower gear when driving downa long or steep hill. Do not continuouslyapply the brakes, as they may overheatand become less effective.
•If your transmission has Grade Assistor Tow/Haul, use this feature whentowing. This provides engine brakingand helps eliminate excessivetransmission shifting for optimum fueleconomy and transmission cooling.
•If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac withroll stability control, this system mayturn on during typical corneringmaneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer.This is normal. Turning the corner at aslower speed when towing may reducethis tendency.
•Allow more distance for stopping witha trailer attached. Anticipate stops andgradually brake.
•Avoid parking on a slope. However, ifyou must park on a slope, turn thesteering wheel to point your vehicletires away from traffic flow, set theparking brake, place the transmissionin park (P) and place wheel chocks infront and back of the trailer wheels.
Note:Chocks are not included with yourvehicle.
LAUNCHING OR RETRIEVING
A BOAT OR PERSONAL
WATERCRAFT
When backing down a ramp during boatlaunching or retrieval:
•Do not allow the static water level torise above the bottom edge of the rearbumper.
•Do not allow waves to break higherthan 6 in (15 cm) above the bottomedge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding 6 in (15 cm) could allow waterto enter vehicle components, causinginternal damage to the components andaffecting driveability, emissions andreliability.
Note:Replace the rear axle lubricantanytime the rear axle has been submergedin water.
Note:Disconnect the trailer wiringconnector before backing the trailer into thewater.
Note:Reconnect the trailer wiringconnector after removing the trailer fromthe water.
