Driving tips

Driving on a hill (“4WD LOCK”

for full-time 4WD operation)

• Use low gear when going uphill or

downhill and avoid sudden braking.

• Do not shift gears or use your

clutch when going downhill. Do not

coast downhill in Neutral.

Crossing a ditch (“4WD LOCK”

for full-time 4WD operation)

• Avoid driving through ditches if

possible, especially if there is

water in the ditch.Your vehicle may

stall if the electrical system gets

wet. If you must cross a ditch,

select 4WD LOCK mode.

• Avoid driving where the water level

is higher than the bottom of the

wheel hub. If the water level rises

above this mark, your vehicle will

need to be serviced.

• Tap lightly on the brake pedal dur-

ing and after driving through water.

This will help keep the brakes dry

and in proper working order.

• Do not shift gears while crossing a

ditch.

Tight corner brake effect

This is called tight corner brake

effect. Tight corner brake effect is a

unique characteristic of four-wheel

drive vehicles caused by the differ-

ence in tire rotation at the four

wheels and the zero-degree align-

ment of the front wheels and sus-

pension.

Sharp turns at low speeds should be

carried out with caution.

CAUTION

When turning sharply on a

paved road at low speed while

in four-wheel drive, steering

control will be difficult.
