ELECTRONIC SHIFT
4WD SYSTEM*
The electronic shi 4WD system
allows you to choose between 4x2,
4x4 AUTO*, 4x4 HIGH or 4x4 LOW.
2H (4x2) sends power to the rear
wheels only and should be used for
street and highway driving. Provides
optimal smoothness and fuel
economy at high speeds.
4A (4x4 AUTO)* provides electronic
control four-wheel drive with power
delivered to the front and rear wheels,
as required, for increased traction. This
is appropriate for all on-road driving
conditions, including dry road surfaces,
but is especially useful on wet
pavement, snow, dirt or gravel.
4H (4x4 HIGH) helps provide extra
traction while driving in snow or
on icy roads or o road situations.
This mode is not intended for use on
dry pavement.
4L (4x4 LOW) uses extra gearing to
provide maximum power to all four
wheels at reduced speeds. Intended
only for o-road applications such
as deep sand, steep grades or pulling
heavy objects. 4L (4x4 LOW) does not
engage while the vehicle is moving
above 3 mph (5 km/h); this is normal
and should be no reason for concern.

Refer to Shiing to or from 4L (4x4
LOW) in the Four-Wheel Drive chapter
of your Owner’s Manual for details.
ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL*
When engaged, the system
temporarily locks the rear axle,
allowing both rear wheels to turn at
the same speed. This function helps
to provide additional traction
as needed.
Note: Do not use this feature on
dry pavement or hard-surfaced roads.
To use:
4X4: Pull the 4WD control.
4X2: Turn the
control to ON.
The indicator light
continuously
displays in the cluster when the
ELD is active.
PRO TRAILER
BACKUP ASSIST*
The Pro Trailer Backup Assist control
knob helps assist you in backing
up your trailer. Turn the knob in the
direction you want the trailer to go
and the system will take over the
steering to get it there.
This system will not work until you set
it up. See the Pro Trailer Backup Assist
Quick Start Guide in your Owner's
Manual portfolio for the complete set
up and operation details.
INTEGRATED TRAILER
BRAKE CONTROLLER*
The fully integrated trailer brake
controller assists in smooth and
eective trailer braking by powering
the trailer’s electric or electric-over
hydraulic brakes with a proportional
output based on the towing vehicle’s
brake pressure.
The Gain setting is used to set the
trailer brake controller for specific
towing conditions and should be
changed as towing conditions change.
Changes to towing conditions include
trailer load, vehicle load, road
conditions and weather.
Use the Gain + and – adjustment
buttons to increase or decrease the
braking feature’s power output to
the trailer in 0.5 increments.
Adjust the Gain by:
1. Pressing the Gain+ or Gain–
buttons to increase or decrease
the setting to the desired
starting point. For example, a
Gain setting of 6.0 is a good
starting point for heavier loads.
2. Test the adjusted Gain setting
again aer you make adjustments.
When testing:
A. In a trac-free environment,
tow the trailer on a dry,
level surface at a speed of
20-25 mph (30-40 km/h)
and squeeze the manual
control lever completely.
B. If the trailer wheels lock
up (the tires will squeal),
reduce the Gain setting. If
the trailer wheels turn freely,
increase the Gain setting.
C. The proper Gain setting will
be at the point just below
trailer wheel lock-up.
Note: If towing a heavier trailer,
trailer wheel lock-up may not be
attainable even with the maximum
Gain setting of 10.
