- cking Rear Axle(If Equipped) Electronic Transfer Case (If Equipped) If your four-wheel-drive vehicle has the electronic transfer case, the transfer case switches are above the radio controls. 11 you have this feature, your locking rear axle can give you additional traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of thetime, but when one of the rear wheels has traction and the no other does, this feature will allow the wheel with traction to move thevehicle. Four-wheel Drive (If Equipped) If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you can send your engine's driving power to allfour wheels for extra traction. To shift out of two-wheel drive and into four-wheel drive, push the 4HI or 4LO button on the transfer case switch. You should use 2HI for most normal driving conditions. Use these switches to shift into and out of four-wheel drive. You can choose among three driving settings: NOTICE: Driving in the 4HI or 4LO positions for a long time on dry or wet pavement could shorten the life of your vehicle's drivetrain. 2HI: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations. Your front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive. When this lamp is lit, it is about one-half as bright as the others. 4HI: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicle. Use 4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, or in most off-road situations. 2-29
