This is AUTO appropriate for normal on-road driving on dry pavement. • 4X4 AUTO provides electronic control four-wheel drive with power delivered to all four wheels, as required, for increased traction.

This is appropriate for all on-road driving conditions, such as dry road surfaces, wet pavement, snow or gravel. • 4X4 provides electronically locked four-wheel drive power to front and rear wheels. The RTT location in the message center will display "4X4" when this position is selected. This position is not recommended for use on dry pavement. This position is only intended for severe winter or off-road conditions, such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles. Note: The Control Trac selector switch should not be changed while the rear wheels are slipping. Shifting between modes Press any button (4X2, 4X4 AUTO or 4X4) at any forward speed up to 55 mph (88 km/h). The message center may display "4X4 SHIFT IN PROGRESS" during the system shift. The RTT location in the message center will then display "4X4 AUTO" if 4X4 AUTO is selected or "4X4" if 4X4 is selected. Note: Some noise may be heard as the system shifts or engages. 260 2008 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
