Engaging AWD

The 4x4 or AWD driveline switch may be turned on or off while the vehicle is moving. Initially, the vehicle’s electronic system will not enable AWD until the engine RPM is below 2800. Once enabled, AWD remains enabled until the 4x4 or AWD driveline switch is turned off. If the switch is turned off while the demand drive unit is moving, it will not disengage until the rear wheels regain traction.

Engage the 4x4 or AWD driveline switch before getting into conditions where AWD may be needed. If the rear wheels are spinning, release the throttle before switching to AWD.
