Tires, Wheels and Loading

Power is supplied to all four wheels through a transfer case or power

transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow

you to select different drive modes as necessary. Information on

transfer case operation and shifting

procedures can be found in the Driving chapter. Information on

transfer case maintenance can be found in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. You should become thoroughly familiar with this information before you operate your vehicle.

On some 4WD models, the initial shift from two-wheel drive to 4WD while the vehicle is moving can cause a momentary clunk and ratcheting sound. These sounds are normal as the front drivetrain comes up to speed and is not cause for concern.

WARNING: Do not become overconfident in the ability of 4WD and AWD vehicles. Although a 4WD or AWD vehicle may accelerate better than two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction situations, it won't stop any faster than two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.

How your vehicle differs from other vehicles

SUV and trucks can differ from some other vehicles in a few noticeable ways. Your vehicle may be:

•Higher ± to allow higher load carrying capacity and to allow it to travel over rough terrain without getting hung up or damaging underbody components.

•Shorter ± to give it the capability to approach inclines and drive over the crest of a hill without

getting hung up or damaging underbody components. All other

things held equal, a shorter

wheelbase may make your vehicle quicker to respond to steering inputs than a vehicle with a longer wheelbase.
