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.

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.

Control Trac four–wheel drive system (if equipped)

When a four–wheel drive mode is selected, the Control Trac system 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.

Power is supplied to all four wheels

through a transfer case. On

four–wheel drive vehicles, the

transfer case allows you to select

four–wheel drive when necessary.

Information on transfer case

operation and shifting procedures

can be found in this chapter.

Information on transfer case maintenance can be found in the

Maintenance and Specifications chapter. You should become

thoroughly familiar with this information before you operate your vehicle.

Normal characteristics

On some four–wheel drive models, the initial shift from two-wheel drive

to four–wheel drive while the vehicle is moving can cause some
