Driving off-road with truck and utility vehicles<br />

4WD vehicles are specially equipped for driving on sand, snow, mud and<br />

rough terrain and have operating characteristics that are somewhat<br />

different from conventional vehicles, both on and off the road.<br />

How your vehicle differs from other vehicles<br />

Truck and utility vehicles can differ from some other vehicles. Your<br />

vehicle may be higher to allow it to trav<strong>el</strong> over rough terrain without<br />

getting hung up or damaging underbody components.<br />

The differences that make your vehicle so versatile also make it handle<br />

differently than an ordinary passenger car.<br />

Maintain steering whe<strong>el</strong> control at all times, especially in rough terrain.<br />

Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering whe<strong>el</strong><br />

motion, make sure you grip the steering whe<strong>el</strong> from the outside. Do not<br />

grip the spokes.<br />

Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from concealed objects such as<br />

rocks and stumps.<br />

You should either know the terrain or examine maps of the area before<br />

driving. Map out your route before driving in the area. To maintain<br />

steering and braking control of your vehicle, you must have all four<br />

whe<strong>el</strong>s on the ground and they must be rolling, not sliding or spinning.<br />

Basic operating principles<br />

• Do not use 4WD High or 4WD Low on dry, hard surfaced roads. Doing<br />

so will produce excessive noise, increase tire wear, reduce fu<strong>el</strong><br />

economy and may damage drive components. 4WD modes are only<br />

intended for consistently slippery or loose surfaces.<br />

• Drive slower in strong crosswinds which can affect the normal steering<br />

characteristics of your vehicle.<br />

• Be extrem<strong>el</strong>y careful when driving on pavement made slippery by<br />

loose sand, water, grav<strong>el</strong>, snow or ice.<br />

If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement<br />

• If your vehicle goes off the edge of the pavement, slow down, but<br />

avoid severe brake application, ease the vehicle back onto the<br />
