Driving<br />

Once through water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop the<br />

vehicle as effectiv<strong>el</strong>y as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by moving<br />

your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.<br />

Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction when you<br />

are driving in mud. Even 4WD vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. As<br />

when you are driving over sand, apply the acc<strong>el</strong>erator slowly and avoid<br />

spinning your whe<strong>el</strong>s. If the vehicle does slide, steer in the direction of<br />

the slide until you regain control of the vehicle.<br />

If the transmission, transfer case or front axle are submerged in water,<br />

their fluids should be checked and changed, if necessary.<br />

Driving through deep water may damage the transmission.<br />

If the front or rear axle is submerged in water, the axle lubricant should<br />

be replaced.<br />

After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck to rotating driveshafts<br />

and tires. Excess mud stuck on tires and rotating driveshafts causes an<br />

imbalance that could damage drive components.<br />

“Tread Lightly” is an educational<br />

program designed to increase public<br />

awareness of land-use regulations<br />

and responsibilities in our nations<br />

wilderness areas. Ford Motor<br />

Company joins the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land<br />

Management in encouraging you to h<strong>el</strong>p preserve our national forest and<br />

other public and private lands by “treading lightly.”<br />

Driving on hilly or sloping terrain<br />

Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to trav<strong>el</strong> diagonally up<br />

or down a hill or steep incline, you should always try to drive straight up<br />

or straight down. Avoid driving crosswise or turning on steep<br />

slopes or hills. A danger lies in losing traction, slipping sideways and<br />

possibly rolling over. Whenever driving on a hill, determine beforehand<br />

the route you will use. Do not drive over the crest of a hill without<br />

seeing what conditions are on the other side. Do not drive in reverse<br />

over a hill without the aid of an observer.<br />
