Driving tips
Driving on a hill ("4LO" for part-
time 4WD operation or "LOW" for
full-time 4WD operation)
Crossing a ditch ("4LO" for part-
time 4WD operation or "LOW" for
full-time 4WD operation)
• Avoid driving through ditches if possi-
ble, especially if there is water in the
ditch.Your vehicle may stall if the elec-
trical system gets wet. If you must
cross a ditch, select 4LO or LOW
mode.
Tight corner brake effect
WARNING - 4WD
When turning sharply on a paved
road at low speed while in four-
wheel drive, steering control will be
difficult.
•
Use low gear when going uphill or
downhill and avoid sudden braking.
•
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 difference in tire rotation at
the four wheels and the zero-degree
alignment of the front wheels and sus-
pension.
•
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 serv-
iced.
Tap lightly on the brake pedal during
and after driving through water. This
will help keep the brakes dry and in
proper working order.
•
•
Sharp turns at low speeds should be car-
ried out with caution.
Do not shift gears while crossing a
ditch.
