Cruise Grade Braking
Cruise Grade Braking operates while Cruise Control
is engaged in Tow/Haul mode to assist in maintaining
vehicle speed under loaded vehicle conditions. Cruise
Grade Braking assists when driving on a downhill grade.
It maintains vehicle speed by automatically implementing
a shift schedule that uses the engine and the
transmission to slow the vehicle. If vehicle speed is
above the desired speed the transmission will downshift
to slow the vehicle. If vehicle speed is near or below
desired speed the trans will upshift, allowing vehicle
speed to increase.
While in the Range Select Mode (RSM) mode, cruise
grade braking is not available.
SeeAutomatic Transmission Operation on page 2-32.
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive
The Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive transfer case is
designed to constantly send the engine’s driving power
to all four wheels for extra traction. To get the most
out of Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive, you must be familiar
with its operation.
Notice:Driving on pavement in Four-Wheel
High Lock or Four Wheel Low Lock for extended
periods may cause premature wear on the vehicle
powertrain and tires. Do not drive in Four-Wheel
High Lock or Four-Wheel Low Lock on pavement
for extended periods.

Transfer Case Dial
The transfer case dial is
located to the right of the
instrument panel cluster.
Use this switch to shift into
and out of the different
Full-Time Four-Wheel
Drive modes.
The transfer case is a part of the Full-Time Four-Wheel
Drive system and allows the following four different
modes of operation:
4
m(Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive):This setting is
used for driving in most street and highway situations.
It can be used for light or variable off-road conditions.
4
mQ(Four-Wheel-High Lock):Use this mode
when you need extra traction in most off-road situations
such as sand, mud, snow, or level, rocky trails.4
nQ(Four-Wheel-Low Lock):This mode delivers
extra torque to all four wheels and is used for extreme
off-road conditions. Choose Four-Wheel-Low Lock
while driving off-road in deep sand, mud, or snow and
climbing or descending steep hills.
When in this mode you can also choose to lock the rear
axle for additional traction in extreme off-road situations.
SeeLocking Rear Axle on page 4-10.
Notice:Operating the vehicle in
Four-Wheel-Low Lock above 50 mph (80 km/h)
for any extended period of time could cause damage
to the transfer case. Do not operate the vehicle in
Four-Wheel-Low Lock above 50 mph (80 km/h) for
extended periods.
{CAUTION:
Shifting the transfer case to N (Neutral) can cause
the vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in
P (Park). You or someone else could be seriously
injured. Be sure to set the parking brake before
placing the transfer case in N (Neutral).
SeeParking Brake on page 2-42.
2-38
Page 125 of 524
N (Neutral):Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral) only
when towing the vehicle. SeeRecreational Vehicle
Towing on page 4-50orTowing Your Vehicle on
page 4-50for more information.
Indicator lights in the dial show which mode you are in.
The indicator lights will come on brie y when you turn on
the ignition and one will stay on. If the lights do not come
on, take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer for service.
An indicator light will ash while shifting the transfer case.
It will remain on when the shift is complete. If the transfer
case cannot make a requested shift, it will return to the
last chosen setting.
If the SERVICE 4WD message stays on, you should
take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer for service.
See “Service 4WD message” underDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-46.
Shifting between Four-Wheel High and
Four-Wheel-High Lock
With the vehicle traveling less than 40 mph
(64 km/h), turn the dial to the Four-Wheel High or
Four-Wheel-High Lock position. The indicator light
on the dial will ash while shifting. It will remain on
when the shift is complete.
It may be necessary to drive backwards for a short
distance of 25 feet (7.5 m) to get the lock feature
to disengage.
Shifting into Four-Wheel-Low Lock
To shift into Four-Wheel-Low Lock, the ignition must be
in ON/RUN and the vehicle must be stopped or moving
less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with the transmission in
N (Neutral). The preferred method for shifting into
Four-Wheel Low Lock is to have the vehicle moving
1 to 2 mph (1.6 to 3.2 km/h). Turn the dial to the
Four-Wheel-Low Lock position. You must wait for the
Four-Wheel-Low Lock indicator light on the dial to stop
ashing and remain lit before shifting the transmission
in gear.
When the transfer case is shifted into the
Four-Wheel-Low Lock position a StabiliTrak
®indicator
light will come on to show that the system has been
turned off and a message will show in the DIC.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-56
for more information.
Notice:Shifting the transmission into gear before
the indicator light stops ashing could cause
damage to the transfer case. Always wait until the
indicator light stops ashing before putting the
transmission back in gear.
It is normal for the vehicle to have engagement noise
and bump when shifting between Four-Wheel Low Lock,
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel-High Lock
ranges or from N (Neutral) with the engine running.
