How to tune radio stations
*
[AS33100( EF )08/89]
There are two ways for you to tune to a
particular station. You can manually locate a
station using the ªTUNEº button or select a
station using the memory buttons, which you
can set to any desired frequency.
*
[AS33200( EF )05/95]
q
Using the ªTUNEº function
*
[AS33300( EF )07/94]
You can change the frequency up or down
one increment at a time by pressing and
releasing either the right (
a) or left (
b) side
of the ªTUNEº button. To change frequencies
quickly press and hold down either the right
or left side of the ªTUNEº button.
*
[AS33400( EF )08/04]
The ªTUNEº control adjusts your radio to
any allowable broadcast frequency regardless
of whether or not a station is present on that
frequency. (SeeAll About Radio Frequenciesin
this section.)

[AS35900(BEF )01/95]
If there is a building or large structure between
the antenna and station, some of the signal
ªbendsº around the building, but certain spots
receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
ªshadowº of the structure will allow the station
to return to normal.
*
[AS36000(BEF )01/95]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or
structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and
distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can
become quite severe in hilly terrain and
depressed roadways.
*
[AS36100(BEF )01/95]
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this
system. This feature automatically switches a
weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
*
[AS36200(BEF )01/95]
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
*
[AS36300(BEF )01/95]
Another reception phenomenon isStrong Signal
Capture and Overload. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
displayed frequency does not change. While
passing the tower, the station may switch back
and forth a few times before returning to the
original station.
*
[AS36400(BEF )01/95]
When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas) several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in
considerable station changing, mixing and
distortion.

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.

[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.
*
[DR27850( ALL)11/89]
Rocking the vehicle
*
[DR27901(B F )05/90]
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
may overheat the engine and transmission,
causing damage to both. In addition, other
vehicle systems and components may also be
damaged.
*
[DR27975( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph
(56 km/h). The tires may fail and injure a
passenger or bystander.

274 [RE23615(BEF )02/95]8. Put the tire, jack, and wrench away. (Make
sure jack is securely fastened so it doesn't
rattle when you drive.) The carrier is
designed to hold the temporary spare which
comes with your vehicle. The stowage of a
full size tire in the spare tire carrier may
damage the tire or the vehicle. The flat full
size tire should be stowed securely in the
vehicle until it can be repaired.

9. Unblock the wheels.
*
[RE24100( EFM)06/93]
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels
retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified
torque at 100 miles (160 km), and again at 500
miles (800 km) of new vehicle operation and at
the intervals specified in theMaintenance Schedule
and Recordbooklet.
*
[RE24200( ALL)10/89]
Also retighten to the specified torque at 500
miles (800 km) of operation after any wheel
change or any time the lug nuts are loosened.
*
[RE24301( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Failure to retighten wheel lug nuts at
mileages specified could allow wheels to
come off while the vehicle is in motion.

Checking and Adding Engine Oil
*
[SV13800( ALL)03/95]
Since the proper amount of engine oil is
important for safe engine operation, check the oil
using the dipstick each time you put fuel in
your vehicle. Remember the engine must be off,
the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
parked on level ground.
*
[SV13900( ALL)03/95]
Checking the engine oil level:
*
[SV14000( ALL)02/95]
1. Turn the engine off after it has warmed up
and allow a few minutes for the engine oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
*
[SV14050(B F )03/95]
2. Set the parking brake, making sure that the
gearshift is securely latched in P (Park)
(automatic transmission) or 1 (First) (manual
transmission).
*
[SV14100( ALL)02/95]
3. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine
heat.
