2H (2WD HIGH) delivers power to
the rear wheels only, and is the
optimum position for
smoothness and fuel economy.
A4WD (4X4 AUTO) automatically
delivers power to all four wheels,
as required, for increased traction. 4H (4X4
HIGH) provides mechanically locked four-wheel
drive power to all four wheels. 4L (4X4 LOW)
provides mechanically locked four-wheel drive
when extra power at reduced speeds is required.
To shift from 2H to A4WD or 4H, move the
control at any forward speed up to 55 mph
(88 km/h). To shift from A4WD to 4H, move the
control at a stop or while driving at any speed. To
shift to or from 4L, bring the vehicle to a stop and
keep the brake pedal depressed. Next, place the
gearshift in N (Neutral), and then move the
control to 4L.
When shifting from one four-wheel drive position
to the next, a mechanical noise may be heard. This
is normal and no service should be required.
Gearshift/Overdrive Control
Overdrive is the normal drive
position for the best fuel
economy. Only deactivate
(O/D OFF) overdrive when:
driving
with a heavy load,
towing a trailer up or
down steep hills, or when
additional engine braking is desired. To
