Breaking Your Vehicle In
*
[IN06100( ALL)03/95]
Your new vehicle goes through an adjustment or
break-in period during the first 1,000 miles
(1,600 km) that you drive it. During the break-in
period, you need to pay careful attention to how
you drive your vehicle.

Avoid sudden stops.Because your vehicle
has new brake linings, you should take these
steps:
*
[IN06400( ALL)01/95]
Ð Watch traffic carefully so that you can
anticipate when to stop.
*
[IN06500( ALL)01/95]
Ð Begin braking well in advance.
*
[IN06600( ALL)01/95]
Ð Apply the brakes gradually.
*
[IN06700( ALL)01/95]
The break-in period for new brake linings
lasts for 100 miles (160 km) of city driving or
1,000 miles (1,600 km) of highway driving.
*
[IN06750( ALL)12/93]

[SC07300(BEF )03/91]
Speed Control (If equipped)
*
[SC07450( ALL)05/95]
Your vehicle has speed control, so you can
automatically maintain a constant speed above
30 mph (48 km/h). The switches to operate the
speed control are on the steering wheel.
*
[SC07500( ALL)05/95]
Use of radio transmitting equipment that is not
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or
in Canada the Canadian Radio and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
approved may cause the speed control to
malfunction. Therefore, use only properly
installed FCC (CRTC in Canada) approved radio
transmitting equipment in your vehicle.

RWARNING
Do not park your vehicle in Neutral, it
may move unexpectedly and injure
someone. Use 1 (First) gear and set the
parking brake fully.
[DR15903(B F )05/95]
When the transfer case is in the N (Neutral)
position, the engine and transmission are
disconnected from the rest of the driveline.
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the
automatic transmission is in P (Park) or the
manual transmission is in gear.
*
[DR15906(B F )05/95]
RWARNING
Do not leave the vehicle unattended with
the transfer case in the N (Neutral)
position. Always set the parking brake
fully and turn off the ignition when
leaving the vehicle.
*
[DR15915( ALL)01/95]
Steering Your Vehicle
%*
[DR15945( ALL)01/95]
Your vehicle comes with power steering. Power
steering uses energy from the engine to help
steer your vehicle.
%*
[DR15950( ALL)04/95]
If the amount of effort needed to steer your
vehicle changes at a constant vehicle speed, have
the power steering system checked. If the power
steering system breaks down (or if the engine is
turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually
but it takes more effort.
*
[DR15960( ALL)01/95]
Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme
right or left for more than five seconds if the
engine is running. This can damage the power
steering pump.

Driving Off Road with 4-Wheel
Drive
*
[DR19300(B F )11/89]
Most vehicles with four-wheel drive are
especially equipped for driving on sand, snow,
mud, or rough terrain and have operating
characteristics that are somewhat different from
conventional vehicles, both off and on the road.
The driving tips below will help you learn to
use four-wheel drive.
*
[DR19400(B F )10/94]
q
Do not use 4WD LOW on dry, hard-surfaced
roads.
*
[DR19600(B F )11/89]
q
Special maintenance procedures are necessary
after operating with drive components in
water.
*
[DR19700(B F )08/94]
q
Manual locking hubs must be in LOCK
position before shifting into four-wheel drive.
*
[DR19800(B F )11/89]
When using four-wheel drive, maintain steering
wheel control at all times, especially in rough
terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can
result in abrupt steering wheel motion, make
sure you grip the steering wheel rim from the
outside. Do not grip the spokes.
*
[DR19900(B F )05/90]
Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from
concealed objects such as rocks and stumps.
Know the terrain or examine maps of the area in
question before driving. Map out your route
beforehand. To maintain steering and braking
control of your vehicle, you must have all four

tires on the ground, and they must be rolling,
not sliding or spinning.
*
[DR19925(B F )11/89]
Transmission upshift in 4x4 with transfer case in
4L may be quite firm due to large total gear
reduction. This condition is normal.
*
[DR20000(B F )11/89]
Sand
*
[DR20100(B F )11/89]
When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels of the vehicle on the most solid area of
the trail. Do not reduce the tire pressures but
shift to a lower gear and drive steadily through
the terrain. Apply accelerator slowly and avoid
spinning the wheels.
*
[DR20200(B F )11/89]
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.
*
[DR20525(B F )07/94]
NOTE: If the transmission and transfer case is
submerged in water, their fluids should
be checked and changed, if necessary.

[DR20701(B F )11/89]
Driving on Hill or Slope Terrain
*
[DR20800(B F )08/94]
When driving on a hill, it may be necessary to
travel diagonally up or down. Avoid driving
crosswise or turning on steep slopes, you could
lose traction and slip sideways. Drive straight
up, straight down or avoid the hill completely.
Know the conditions on the other side of a hill
before driving over the crest.
*
[DR20900(B F )11/89]
When climbing a steep hill, start in a lower gear,
rather than finding it necessary to downshift
from a higher gear after the ascent has started.
This reduces strain on the engine and the
possibility of stalling.
*
[DR21000(B F )11/89]
When descending a steep hill avoid sudden
braking. Rapid pumping of the brake pedal will
help slow the vehicle and still maintain steering
control.
*
[DR21101(B F )11/89]
Driving on Snow or Ice
*
[DR21200(B F )10/90]
A four-wheel drive vehicle has advantages over
two-wheel drive vehicles in snow and ice but
can skid like any other vehicle. If so equipped,
keep the vehicle in four-wheel drive if icy or
slippery conditions exist.
*
[DR21300(B F )11/89]
Avoid sudden applications of power and quick
changes of direction on snow or ice. Apply the
accelerator slowly and steadily when starting
from a full stop.
[DR21312(B F )05/95]
All utility-type and Four-Wheel Drive vehicles
have special design and equipment features to
make them capable of performing in a wide
variety of off-road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them higher centers of
gravity than ordinary passenger cars.

High water
*
[DR27675( ALL)06/92]
Never attempt to cross water that is fast flowing
or of unknown depth.
*
[DR27701( ALL)05/90]
Do not drive through flooded areas unless you
are sure that the water is below the bottom of
the wheel hubs.
*
[DR27750( ALL)04/94]
If you must drive through high water, drive
slowly. You may have limited traction or wet
brakes, so allow extra stopping distance because
your vehicle will not stop as quickly as usual.
*
[DR27801( ALL)01/95]
After you drive through the standing water,
apply your brakes gently several times as your
vehicle moves slowly. This helps to dry the
brakes.
*
[DR27820( ALL)07/94]
NOTE: If the transmission and transfer case is
submerged in water, their fluids should
be checked and changed, if necessary.

[DR27825( ALL)03/93]
NOTE: All rear axle lube quantities must be
replaced every 100,000 miles
(160,000 km) or if the axle has been
submerged in water. Otherwise, the
lube should not be checked or changed
unless a leak is suspected or repair
required.

For 4x4 vehicles, engage 4WD LOW, when the
vehicle gets stuck and try to drive away.
*
[DR27950( ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle gets stuck (for example, in mud
or snow), you may rock it out of the spot. Shift
in a steady rhythm between forward and reverse
gears. Allow the transmission to fully engage,
then press lightly on the accelerator. Do not rock
the vehicle for more than a few minutes. This
