All-Wheel Drive with StabiliTrak
®
With this feature, engine power is sent to all four wheels
all the time.
AWD is like four-wheel drive, but there is no separate
lever or switch to engage or disengage the front
axle. It is fully automatic, and when combined with
StabiliTrak
®
, the AWD system adjust itself as needed
for road conditions.
The transfer case buttons
are located to the left of
the instrument panel
cluster. Use these buttons
to shift between the
various modes of
four-wheel drive.
The three modes you can choose between are:
d (StabiliTrak
®
): This button is used to enable or
disable the StabiliTrak
®
on and off and is also used to
shift the transfer case into Neutral (N). For more
information on using StabiliTrak
®
, see StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-11.
f (All-Wheel Drive): This button allows the transfer
case to distribute power to all four wheels as needed
depending on road and driving conditions.
g (4LO): This button allows the transfer case to
delivers extra torque to the wheels, and provides for
precise control of wheel speed by engine braking.
You may never need this setting. It sends maximum
power to all four wheels. You might choose 4LO if you
are driving off-road in deep sand, deep mud, deep
snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
