STARTING AND OPERATING
181
conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in
off-road cond itions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or
abru pt maneu vers. As with other vehicles of this typ e,
failu re to operate this vehicle correctly may resu lt in loss
of control or vehicle rollover.
CAUTIO N!
The Anti-Lock Brak e System is subject to possib le
detrim ental effects of electron ic interferen ce caused
by improp erly installed afterm ark et rad ios or tele-
phones.
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS
NOTE: During severe braking cond itions, a pulsing
sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard .
This is norm al, ind icating that the Anti-Lock Brake
System is functioning.
When To Use Low Range
When driving off-road , shift to 4L (Low) for additional 5
traction in pulling forw ard or descend ing a hill, for
low-speed pulling power or to improve hand ling and
control on slippery or difficult terrain. Also use 4L (Low)
in rain, ice, snow, mud or sand to get heavy load s rolling,
or whenever 4H (High) range four-wheel drive traction
will not do the job.
ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS
Utility vehicles have higher grou nd clearance and a
narrow er track to make them capable of perform ing in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than
ord inary cars.
In Snow, Mud and Sand
In heavy snow, when pulling a load , or for additional
control at slow er speed s, shift the transm ission to a low
gear and shift the transfer case to 4L (Low) if necessary.
An advantage of the higher grou nd clearance is a better
view of the road , allow ing you to anticip ate problem s.
