All Wheel Drive (AWD) System
For models equipped with a rear differential, refer to the All Wheel Drive/Rear Differential section beginning on Engaging AWD.
-
On models not equipped with a rear differential, the All Wheel Drive system is controlled by the AWD switch. When the switch is on 2X4, the vehicle is in two-wheel drive at all times. When the switch is on AWD, the vehicle is in all wheel drive and the 4X4 indicator in the instrument cluster will be on.
-
When in AWD, the demand drive unit will automatically engage any time the rear wheels lose traction. When the rear wheels regain traction, the demand drive unit will automatically disengage.
-
There is no limit to the length of time the vehicle may remain in AWD.
