Hazard Flasher
*
[SC05520( ALL)04/95]
The hazard flasher is used to alert other drivers
to hazardous situations.
*
[SC05527(BE )10/94]
The flashers will flash and the high-mount
brakelamp will stay on steadily (not flash) with
the brake pedal depressed.
*
[SC05530( ALL)03/95]
The flashers work whether your vehicle is
running or not. The flashers work for up to two
hours when the battery is fully charged and in
good condition without draining the battery
excessively. If the flashers run for longer than
two hours or if the battery is not fully charged,
the battery can be drained.
*
[SC05540( ALL)09/93]
To use the hazard flasher:
*
[SC05550( ALL)10/92]
1. Push in the flasher button; it will pop out
and the lamps will begin to flash.
*
[SC05560( ALL)10/92]
2. To stop the flashers, push in the flasher
button again.
*
[SC05562( ALL)10/92]

[SC08850(B F )06/92]
If your vehicle comes with a 5-speed manual

In order to downshift (with a manual
transmission) with the speed control operating,
you must press either the brake or clutch pedal
long enough to disengage the speed control.
Wait a second before depressing the clutch again
and making the shift so that the speed control
can fully return to the idle position.

4x4 SYSTEMS-TOUCH DRIVE
*
[DR17601(B F )06/94]
The Touch Drive 4x4 system functions in three
modes. In Two Wheel Drive mode, power is
delivered only to the rear axle at normal road
speed. The 4H position provides four-wheel
drive with power delivered to the front and rear
axles for increased traction. The 4L position
provides four-wheel drive with power delivered
to the front and rear axles when the above
average power is required at reduced speeds.
*
[DR17630(B F )06/94]
Four wheel drive operation (4x4 or 4x4 LOW
RANGE) on dry pavement is not recommended.
Operating the vehicle in four-wheel drive on dry
pavement will increase noise, vibration, tire
wear, decrease fuel economy, and make
four-wheel drive disengagement difficult for the
transfer case.

*
[DR20100(B F )11/89]
When driving over sand, try to keep all four

the terrain. Apply accelerator slowly and avoid

Mud and Water
*
[DR20300(B F )12/89]
When driving through water, determine the
depth; avoid water higher than the bottom of
the hubs (if possible) and proceed slowly. If the
ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall.
*
[DR20400(B F )11/89]
Once through water, always try the brakes. Wet
brakes do not stop the vehicle as effectively as
dry brakes. Drying can be improved by moving
your vehicle slowly, while applying light
pressure on the brake pedal.
*
[DR20500(B F )11/89]
After driving through mud, clean off residue
stuck to rotating driveshafts and tires. Excess
mud stuck on tires and rotating driveshafts
causes an imbalance which could damage drive
components.

NOTE: If the transmission and transfer case is
submerged in water, their fluids should
be checked and changed, if necessary.
