• If shifting into 4L (4WD Low), wait for the 4X4 LOW light in the

instrument cluster to turn on indicating the shift is complete.

• If shifting out of 4L (4WD Low), wait for the 4X4 LOW light in the

instrument cluster to turn off indicating the shift is complete.

Note: Some noise may be heard as the system shifts or engages; this is

normal.

Driving off-road with truck and utility vehicles

4WD vehicles are specially equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud and

rough terrain and have operating characteristics that are somewhat

different from conventional vehicles, both on and off the road.

How your vehicle differs from other vehicles

Truck and utility vehicles can differ from some other vehicles. Your

vehicle may be higher to allow it to travel over rough terrain without

getting hung up or damaging underbody components.

The differences that make your vehicle so versatile also make it handle

differently than an ordinary passenger car.

Maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain.

Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering wheel

motion, make sure you grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not

grip the spokes.

Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as

rocks and stumps.

You should either know the terrain or examine maps of the area before

driving. Map out your route before driving in the area. To maintain

steering and braking control of your vehicle, you must have all four

wheels on the ground and they must be rolling, not sliding or spinning.

Basic operating principles

•

Do not use 4WD on dry, hard surfaced roads. Doing so will produce

excessive noise, increase tire wear and may damage drive components.

4WD modes are only intended for consistently slippery or loose surfaces.

• Drive slower in strong crosswinds which can affect the normal steering

characteristics of your vehicle.

• Be extremely careful when driving on pavement made slippery by

loose sand, water, gravel, snow or ice.
