Four-Wheel Drive
If the vehicle has Four-Wheel
Drive, you can send the engine's
driving power to all four wheels
for extra traction. To get the most
satisfaction out of Four-Wheel
Drive, you must be familiar with
its operation. Read the following
before using Four-Wheel Drive.
See the appropriate text for the
transfer case in the vehicle.
Notice: Driving on clean, dry
pavement in Four-Wheel Drive
High or Four-Wheel Drive Low for
an extended period of time may
cause premature wear on the
vehicle's powertrain. Do not
drive on clean, dry pavement
in Four-Wheel Drive High or
Four-Wheel Drive Low for
extended periods of time.
While driving on clean dry pavement
and during tight turns, you may
experience vibration in the steering
system.
If the vehicle has StabiliTrak
®
,
shifting into Four-Wheel Drive
Low will turn Traction Control and
StabiliTrak
®
off. See StabiliTrak
®
System on page 9‑70.
Front Axle
The front axle engages and
disengages automatically when you
shift the transfer case. Some delay
for the axle to engage or disengage
is normal.
Manual Transfer Case
The transfer case shift lever is on
the floor to the right of the driver.
Use this lever to shift into and out
of Four-Wheel Drive.
