OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES 4WD LOW To 4WD HI • With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position or the engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and press the "4WD LOW" button once on the transfer case switch. The "4WD LOW" indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash and turn off when the shift is complete. NOTE: • If the shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature protection exists, a "For 4x4 Low Slow Below 5 MPH or 8 KPH Put Trans in N Press 4 Low" message will flash on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). • Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift completion to occur. The preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow the shift. • Press and hold the NEUTRAL button located near the 4WD mode control knob with a pen or similar object for four seconds. The indicator light will begin to flash indicating the shift is in progress. The light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift is complete. A "4WD SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL" message will display on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). • Repeat these Steps to shift out of NEUTRAL. SELEC-TERRAIN™ • Selec-Terrain™ combines the capabilities of the vehicle control systems, along with driver input, to provide the best performance for all terrains. Rotate the mode control knob to select the following Selec-Terrain™ positions: • Sport - Dry weather, on-road calibration. Only available in 4WD High range. Performance-based tuning that provides a rear wheel drive feel but with improved handling and acceleration over a two-wheel drive vehicle. The Electronic Stability Control will set to allow more driver control of the vehicle while maintaining safe handling controls. The vehicle will lower (if equipped with Air Suspension) by 0.59 inches (15 mm) in the SPORT mode. • Snow - The Electronic Stability Control is set for additional stability in inclement weather. Use on and off road on loose traction surfaces such as snow. • Auto - Fully automatic full-time four-wheel drive operation can be used on and off road. Balances traction with steering feel to provide improved handling and acceleration over two-wheel drive vehicles. NEUTRAL Shift Procedure • Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position, engine off. • Vehicle stopped, with foot on brake. • Place the transmission into NEUTRAL. 57
