This is appropriate for normal on-road driving. 4X4 HIGH provides four-wheel drive with full power to all four wheels. 4X4 LOW provides four-wheel drive with full power to both axles and includes a lower gear ratio for low speed. 4X4 HIGH and 4X4 LOW should not be used on dry or merely wet pavement. To shift between 4X4 AUTO and 4X4 HIGH, press either button at a stop, or while driving at any speed. To shift to and from 4X4 LOW, bring the vehicle to a stop and keep the brake pedal depressed. Next, place the gearshift in N (Neutral), and press the 4X4 LOW control, or if you are in the 4X4 LOW mode, press 4X4 AUTO or 4X4 HIGH. 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. To operate, the speed control must be ON and the vehicle's speed must be at or above 30 mph (48 km/h). To set a speed, press SET +. To set a higher speed, press SET + again. To set a lower speed, press CST -. Pressing RES will return to a previously set speed. To turn the speed control off, press OFF or press the brake pedal to disengage. 16 Reverse Sensing System (RSS) (if equipped) The RSS sounds a tone to warn the driver of obstacles near the rear bumper when the R (Reverse) gear is selected. The system detects obstacles within approximately 6 ft. (2 m.) behind the rear bumper, or near the rear periphery, while the vehicle moves in reverse at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). The system defaults to ON, but the RSS control allows you to disable the system when the ignition is ON, and the gearshift is in R (Reverse). The RSS may not detect small objects, particularly those close to the ground. The system may also operate incorrectly under inclement weather conditions, especially if the rear bumper sensors are covered with dirt, snow, or ice. 17 Brake Release 13 Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) System (if equipped) Please see reverse side for more details. Pull the release lever (rearward) to release the parking brake. To set the parking brake, press the parking brake pedal down until the pedal stops.
