If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting from forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

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 minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery surfaces, particularly when

one wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under normal conditions, the

Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s specified size tires on a

Traction-Lok rear axle could result in a permanent reduction in

effectiveness. This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal driving

and should not be noticeable to the driver.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially if the depth is

unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if the ignition

system gets wet, your engine may stall. Water may also enter your

engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine.

If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very

slowly. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the

hubs (for trucks) or the bottom of the wheel rims (for cars).

Once through the water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop

the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by

moving your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake

pedal.

Driving through deep water where the transmission vent tube is

submerged may allow water into the transmission and cause

internal transmission damage. Have the fluid checked and, if

water is found, replace the fluid.

VEHICLE LOADING

Before loading a vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms:

• Base Curb Weight: Weight of the vehicle including any standard

equipment, fluids, lubricants, etc. It does not include occupants or

aftermarket equipment.
