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

attempt any sharp steering wheel movements.

Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility and

four-wheel drive vehicles handle differently than vehicles with a

lower center of gravity. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not

designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more

than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under

off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed and abrupt

maneuvers in these vehicles. Failure to drive cautiously could result in

an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal

injury and death.

• 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

the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic

transmission is in P (Park) or the manual transmission is in gear. Do not

leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral)

position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition

when leaving the vehicle.

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 authorized dealer.

4WD Systems

4WD uses all four wheels to power the vehicle. This increases traction,

enabling you to drive over terrain and road conditions that a

conventional two-wheel drive vehicle cannot.
