ELECTRONIC SHIFT 4WD SYSTEM*

The electronic shi 4WD system

allows you to choose between 2WD, 4x4 AUTO*, 4x4 HIGH or 4x4 LOW.

2H (2WD) 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 Shiing 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: The dierential is for use in mud, rocks, sand, or any oroad condition where you need maximum traction. It is not for use on dry pavement. Using the electronic locking dierential on dry pavement will result in increased tire wear, noise and vibration.

To use:

4X4: Pull the 4WD control toward

you.

4X2: Turn the

INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER*

The fully integrated trailer brake

controller assists in smooth and eective 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 aer you make adjustments.

6 – 7

When testing:

A. In a trac-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.
