Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Do not rock the vehicle for more than a few minutes or damage

to the transmission and tires may occur or the engine may

overheat.

Always set the parking brake fully and make sure the gearshift is

latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the LOCK position and

remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake warning lamp

remains illuminated, the brakes may not be working properly.

See your dealer or a qualified service technician.

Do not spin the wheels at over 56 km/h (35 mph). The tires may

fail and injure a passenger or bystander.

Refer to Transmission temperature gauge in the Instrument cluster

chapter for transmission fluid temperature information.

Emergency maneuvers

• In an unavoidable emergency situation where a sudden sharp turn

must be made, remember to avoid “over-driving” your vehicle, i.e.,

turn the steering wheel only as rapidly and as far as required to avoid

the emergency. Excessive steering will result in less vehicle control,

not more. Additionally, smooth variations of the accelerator and/or

brake pedal pressure should be utilized if changes in vehicle speed are

called for. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration or braking. Use all

available road surface to return the vehicle to a safe direction of

travel.

• In the event of an emergency stop, avoid skidding the tires and do not

attempt any sharp steering wheel movements.

• If the vehicle goes from one type of surface to another (i.e., from

concrete to gravel) there will be a change in the way the vehicle

responds to a maneuver (steering, acceleration or braking). Again,

avoid these abrupt inputs.

Parking

On some 4WD vehicles, when the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)

position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of

Driving
