in 4WD mode.
6. Three-position On-Command® In/Out 4WD feature lets you switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and a fully locked differential 4WD-all with the simple push of a button. Override button allows engine to make maximum rpm in full Diff. Lock mode.

9. Trick digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeter, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position and clock.
