Positions of the Control-Trac system

The Control-Trac system functions in three modes:

• The 4WD AUTO mode provides

four-wheel drive with full power

delivered to the rear axle, and to

the front axle as required for

increased traction. This is

appropriate for normal on-road

operating conditions, such as dry

road surfaces, wet pavement,

snow and gravel.

• The 4WD HIGH mode provides

four-wheel drive with full power

to both axles. It is only intended

for severe winter or off-road

conditions, such as deep snow

and ice (where no dry or wet

pavement remains uncovered),

and shallow sand.

• The 4WD LOW mode supplies

four-wheel drive with full power

to both axles and includes a

lower gear ratio for low-speed. It

is only intended for off-road

applications that require extra

power including deep sand, steep

grades and pulling a boat and

trailer out of the water.

The vehicle should not be operated in 4WD HIGH and 4WD LOW

on dry or merely wet pavement. Doing so will produce excessive

noise, increase tire wear and may damage driveline components.

These modes are intended for use only on consistently slippery or

loose surfaces.
