OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION • This vehicle has two full time, on-demand, four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems available, Freedom Drive I and Freedom-Drive II. They provide for all-weather, all-terrain capability for added driving security in less-than-ideal road conditions. Freedom-Drive I™ Four Wheel Drive System • The vehicle will constantly monitor wheel slippage and transfer power to the axle that can use it the most. • For additional traction in sand, deep snow or loose traction surfaces, the "4WD Lock" sends equal amounts of the torque to the front and rear axles at low speeds. • To activate, pull the T-handle, located in between the front driver and passenger seats, up once and release. The "4WD Indicator Light" will come on in the cluster. 59
