If the transmission, transfer case or front axle are submerged in water,

their fluids should be checked and changed, if necessary.

Water intrusion into the transmission may damage the

transmission.

If the front or rear axle is submerged in water, the axle lubricant should

be replaced.

After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck to rotating driveshafts

and tires. Excess mud stuck on tires and rotating driveshafts causes an

imbalance that could damage drive components.

“Tread Lightly” is an educational

program designed to increase public

awareness of land-use regulations

and responsibilities in our nations

wilderness areas. Ford joins the U.S.

Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management in encouraging you

to help preserve our national forest and other public and private lands by

“treading lightly.”

Driving on hilly or sloping terrain

Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to travel diagonally up

or down a hill or steep incline, you should always try to drive straight up

or straight down. Avoid driving crosswise or turning on steep

slopes or hills. A danger lies in losing traction, slipping sideways and

possibly rolling over. Whenever driving on a hill, determine beforehand

the route you will use. Do not drive over the crest of a hill without

seeing what conditions are on the other side. Do not drive in reverse

over a hill without the aid of an observer.
