Driving 4WD Safely
(7) Since the driving torque is always
applied to the 4 wheels, the perfor-
mance of the full-time 4WD vehicle
is greatly affected by the condition
of the tyres. Be sure to equip it with
all four tyres of the same size and
type.

Be sure to wear the seat belt.
Do not drive in challenging off-road
conditions or areas that exceed the
vehicle's basic design intent or the
driver's experience level.
!
WARNING:
This vehicle is designed primarily
for on road use. Driving the vehicle
in challenging off-road conditions
for which it was not designed may
result in damage to the vehicle.
Driving in conditions that exceed
the vehicle's intended design or the
driver's experience level may result
in severe injury or death.
(3) Drive at lower speeds in strong
crosswinds. Because of your
vehicle's high centre of gravity, its
stability will be affected in cross-
winds. Slower speeds ensure bet-
ter vehicle control.
(4) Check the brake condition after
driving in wet or muddy conditions.
Press the brake several times as
you move slowly until you feel nor-
mal braking forces return.
o When replacement of any of the
tyres or disc wheels is neces-
sary, replace all of them.
o Rotate the tyres and check the
tyrepressure atregular intervals.
The full-time 4WD vehicle can-
not be towed by an ordinary tow
truck. Make sure that the vehicle
is towed with its four wheels
raised off the ground.

two wheels raised off the ground,
the 4WD system could be dam-
aged.

(5)
Do not drive the vehicle through
water. (i.e. streams, rivers, lakes,
etc.)
(6)
The stopping distance of the full-
time 4WD vehicle differs very little
from that of the 2WD vehicle.
When driving on a snow-covered
road or a slippery, muddy surface,
make sure that you keep a suffi-
cient distance between your ve-
hicle and the one ahead of you.
o Where the situation is unavoid-
able, if the vehicle is being towed
withallfourwheelsontheground,
it should be towed in a forward
directiononlyusingatowingrope.
