WARNING: 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.

Parking

On some 4WD vehicles, when the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)

position, the engine and transmission are disconnected from the rest of

the driveline. Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic

transmission is in P (Park) or the manual transmission is in gear. Do not

leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral)

position. Always set the parking brake fully and turn off the ignition

when leaving the vehicle.

WARNING: Always set the parking brake fully and make sure

the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off

position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.

WARNING: 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.

4WD Systems

4WD (when you select a 4WD mode) 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 4WD

vehicles, the transfer case allows you to select 4WD when necessary.

Information on transfer case operation and shifting procedures can be

found in this chapter. Information on transfer case maintenance can be
