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.

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

fail and injure a passenger or bystander.

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 which could

result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover

and/or personal injury. 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.

AWD Systems (if equipped)

AWD 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.

Sand

When driving over sand, try to keep all four wheels on the most solid area of

the trail. Avoid reducing the tire pressures, but drive steadily through the

terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly and avoid spinning the wheels.

Do not use L (Low) gear when driving through sand.

Under severe operating conditions, the A/C may cycle on and off to

protect overheating of the engine.

Avoid excessive speed because vehicle momentum can work against you

and cause the vehicle to become stuck to the point that assistance may

be required from another vehicle. Remember, you may be able to back

out the way you came if you proceed with caution.
