422 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury. ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions (3.6L Engine) - If Equipped This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides convenient full-time allwheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake Traction Control (BTC) System, which combines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with traction. NOTE: This system is not appropriate for conditions where LOW range is recommended. Refer to "Off-Road Driving Tips" in "Starting and Operating" for further information. Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Three-Position Switch) (5.7L Engine) - If Equipped This is an electronic shift transfer case and it is operated by the AWD Control Switch, which is located on the center console.
