To shift, press the desiredbutton. The indicator light will flashwhile shifting. The light will continueto flash if your speed is above 75 mph(120 km/h), indicating the shift hasnot occurred. The light will remain litwhen the shift is complete. Neutral isused only when towing the vehicle.

The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts youwhen a significant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illuminating the

(low tire pressure) warning lighton the instrument panel. TPM sensorsare mounted onto each tire and wheelassembly on your vehicle excludingthe spare tire. The low tire pressurewarning light will remain on until youcorrect the tire pressure.A tire pressure message may alsoappear on the DIC. CCoorrrreeccttiinngg tthhee TTiirree PPrreessssuurreeWhen the low tire pressure warninglight illuminates, you must fill the tire to the proper tire inflation pressure (just as you must refuel thevehicle when the low fuel warninglight illuminates). The Tire and LoadingInformation label shows the correctinflation pressure for the tires whenthey’re cold. “Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting for at leastthree hours or driven no more thanone mile.You can temporarily clear the DIC message by acknowledging it with your DIC controls. However, at thenext vehicle start-up, the DIC messagewill reappear if the tire pressure hasnot been corrected.During cooler conditions, the low tirepressure warning light may appearwhen the vehicle is first started andthen turn off as you start to drive the vehicle. This could be an early indicator that your tire pressures aregetting low and need to be inflated tothe proper pressure.

NNoottee::• Cargo on the load floor piled higher than the seat can be thrown forward during sudden stops.

• Unsecured cargo on the load floor can be tossed about when driving over rough terrain.

• Heavy loads on the roof raise the vehicle’s center of gravity, making it more likely to roll over.

When shifting into or out of Four-Wheel-Low Lock, the vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (5 km/h) with the transmissionin Neutral.

FFrroonntt aanndd RReeaarr LLoocckkiinngg AAxxlleess ((iiff eeqquuiippppeedd))The locking front and rear axle features can be used to give the vehicle additional traction when traveling in off-road situations such asmud, snow, sand, steep hills anduneven terrain. To lock front and rearaxles, place the transfer case in 4LOLock mode. Before the front axle canbe locked, the rear axle must be locked.

Locking axles will be disengaged whenthe wheel speed is greater than 40mph (64 km/h), if the vehicle’s batteryis low and/or the transfer case is shifted out of 4LO Lock mode.

Put heavier items as forward as possible, but do notplace them in the front seat area.

• Be sure the load is secured properlyto prevent items from moving during off-road driving.

NNoottee:: Operating your vehicle in Four-Wheel-Low Lock above 30 mph (48km/h) for any extended period of timecould cause damage to the transfercase. Do not operate your vehicle inFour-Wheel-Low Lock above 30 mph(48 km/h) for extended periods.
