4WD operation while plowing

• Shift transfer case to 4x4 LOW (4WD Low) when plowing in small

areas at speeds below 8 km/h (5 mph).

• Shift transfer case to 4x4 HIGH (4WD High) when plowing larger

areas or light snow at higher speeds. Do not exceed 24 km/h

(15 mph).

• Do not shift the transmission from a forward gear to R (Reverse) until

the engine is at idle and the wheels are stopped.

• If the vehicle is stuck, shift the transmission in a steady motion

between forward and reverse gears. Do not rock the vehicle for more

than a few minutes. The transmission and tires may be damaged or

the engine can overheat.

It is the owner’s responsibility to avoid engine overheating which

can cause damage.

Refer to Transmission temperature gauge in the Instrument cluster

chapter for transmission fluid temperature information.

Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (55 km/h). The tires may

fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
