Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out
of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What if you have to leave something valuable
in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
New Vehicle “Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate ‘70reak-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run if‘ you follow these
guidelines:
Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first
500 miles (804 km).
Don’t drive at any one speed - fast or slow - for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and
earlier replacement. Follow this “b’reaking-in” guideline
every time you get new brake linings.

The front axle portion of the diagram on the indicator will light up when
you shift into four-wheel drive. A slight delay between shifting an\
d the
pattern’s lighting is normal. If the pattern does not light up, or if the front
axle does not go out after you shift out of four-wheel drive, have your
dealer check your system. Turn the
INT LIGHTS switch located to the
right of your headlight switch to dim your transfer case indicator light\
when
your headlights or parking lights are on. This will also cause\
your
instrument panel lights to dim.
2HI: This setting is for driving in most street and highway situations. Your
front axle is not engaged in two-wheel drive.
4HI: This setting engages your front axle to help drive your vehicl\
e. Use
4HI when you need extra traction, such as on snowy or icy roads, \
or in most
off-road situations.
N SET PARK BRAKE: Shift to this neutral setting only when your vehicle
needs to be towed.
4LO: This setting also engages your front axle to give you extra traction.
You may never need
4LO. It sends the maximum power to all four wheels.
You might choose
4LO if you were driving off-road in sand, mud, or deep
snow and climbing or descending steep hills.
You can shift from
2HI to 4HI or from 4HI to 2HI while the vehicle is
moving. It is not necessary for you to press the transfer case shift lever
button. Your front axle will engage faster
if you take your foot off of the
accelerator for a few seconds after you shift.
To shift your transfer case into N SET PARK BRAKE:
1. Stop the vehicle and shift your transmission into “N” (Neutral).
2. Set the parking brake. Your vehicle can roll unless the brakes are
applied.
To shift into or out of 4LO :
1. The vehicle must be stopped or moving less than 3 mph (4.8 Wh)
with the transmission in “N’ (Neutral) or the clutch pedal depressed.
2. Press the transfer case shift button and shift in one continuous motion.
Don’t pause in
N SET PARK BRAKE as you shift into or out of 4L0, or
your gears could clash.
Remember that driving in
4HI or 4LO may reduce fuel economy. Also,
driving in four-wheel drive on dry pavement could cause your t\
ires to wear
faster and make your transfer case harder to shift.
