Utility vehicles and trucks have larger tires and increased ground

clearance, giving the vehicle a higher center of gravity than a passenger

car.

Vehicles with a higher center of gravity such as utility vehicles

and trucks handle differently than vehicles with a lower center

of gravity. Utility vehicles and trucks 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 or 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.

Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle

differently than unloaded vehicles. Do not overload your vehicle

and use extra precautions, such as driving at slower speeds, avoiding

abrupt steering changes and allowing for increased stopping distance,

when driving a heavily loaded vehicle. Over loading or loading the

vehicle improperly can deteriorate handling capability and contribute

to loss of vehicle control and vehicle rollover.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION

Brake-shift interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock feature that prevents

the gearshift lever from being moved from P (Park) when the ignition is

in the RUN position unless brake pedal is depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P (Park) with ignition in

the RUN position and the brake pedal depressed, it is possible that a

fuse has blown or the vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating properly.

Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside Emergencies chapter.

If the fuse is not blown, perform the following procedure:

1. Apply the parking brake.
