Electronic shift on the fly 4WD system
2WD
- Power to the rear wheels only; used for street and highway driving.
4X4 HIGH
- Used for extra traction such as in snow or icy roads or in
off-road situations. Not intended for use on dry pavement.
4X4 LOW
- Uses extra gearing to provide maximum power to all four
wheels. Intended only for off-road applications such as deep sand, steep
grades or pulling heavy objects. 4X4 LOW will not engage while the
vehicle is moving; this is normal and should be no reason for concern.
Refer to
Shifting to/from 4X4 LOW
for proper operation.

How your vehicle differs from other vehicles

getting hung up or damaging underbody components.
