the ditch. Your vehicle may stall if
the electrical system gets wet. If
you must cross a ditch, shift the
transfer knob to 4LO or LOW.
When turning sharply on a paved
road at low speed while in four-
wheel drive, steering control will be
difficult.

Do not shift gears or use your
clutch when going downhill. Do not
coast downhill in Neutral.
This is called tight corner brake
effect. Tight corner brake effect is a
unique characteristic of four-wheel
drive vehicles caused by the differ-
ence in tire rotation at the four wheels
and the zero-degree alignment of the
front wheels and suspension.
•
Avoid driving where the water level
is higher than the bottom of the
wheel hub. If the water level rises
above this mark, your vehicle will
need to be serviced.
Tap lightly on the brake pedal dur-
ing and after driving through water.
This will help keep the brakes dry
and in proper working order.

Sharp turns at low speeds should be
carried out with caution.
Do not shift gears while crossing a
