options allowing the vehicle operator to easily choose between different modes,
such as rear wheel drive with an open or unlocked differential, rear wheel drive
with a locked differential, four wheel drive with open differentials, four wheel
drive with one locked differential, four wheel drive with two locked differentials,
or rear wheel drive with on-demand four wheel drive.
