Selecting a Four-Wheel Drive Mode

Switching the Electronic Locking Differential ON and OFF

The four-wheel drive mode control is on the instrument panel.

To select a four-wheel drive mode, press the four-wheel drive mode control button of the desired mode. You can select two-wheel drive high (2H), four-wheel drive high (4H), or if your vehicle has four-wheel drive auto (4A) at a stop or while driving. Once the shift is complete, the instrument cluster display will then display the selected four-wheel drive mode. While shifts are in progress, the lights on the four-wheel drive control switch can flash and you could see messages in the instrument cluster display indicating that a shift is in progress or to release the accelerator pedal to improve shift performance.

Note: Momentarily releasing the accelerator pedal while a shift in progress message displays improves engagement or disengagement performance.

Note: Do not perform this operation when cruise control or trail control is selected and active. The system may not shift as expected.

Note: Do not perform this operation if the rear wheels are slipping or while applying the accelerator pedal.

Note: You could hear some noise as the system shifts or engages which is normal.

If the system detects a fault, a warning message appears in the instrument cluster display. See Four-Wheel Drive – Information Messages.

Shifting to or from Four-Wheel Drive Low (4L)

To select or exit four-wheel drive low (4L):

Bring your vehicle to a speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) or less.

Place the transmission in neutral (N)

Press the desired four-wheel drive button on the four-wheel drive mode control switch.

The instrument cluster display will display a message indicating a four-wheel drive shift is in progress. If any of the above shift conditions are not present, the shift will not occur and the instrument cluster display will display information guiding the driver through the proper shifting procedures. If there is a transfer case tooth blockage a message will display in the instrument cluster display. To alleviate this condition, place the transmission in a forward gear, move your vehicle forward approximately 5 ft (1.5 m), and shift the transmission back to neutral (N) to allow the transfer case to complete the range shift.

Note: You could hear some noise as the system shifts or engages which is normal.

If the system detects a fault, a warning message appears in the instrument cluster display. See Four-Wheel Drive – Information Messages.
