3-10 o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off roadapplications. Specific design characteristicsgive them a higher center of gravity thanordinary cars. An advantage of the higherground clearance is a better view of the roadallowing you to anticipate problems. Theyare not designed for cornering at the samespeeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehi-cles any more than low-slung sports carsare designed to perform satisfactorily underoff-road conditions. If at all possible, avoidsharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As withother vehicles of this type, failure to operatethis vehicle correctly may result in loss ofcontrol or vehicle rollover.
o Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steering wheel when driving off-road. Thesteering wheel could jerk and injure yourhands. Always firmly hold the outer steeringwheel when you are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds. Because of your vehicle’s high center ofgravity, its stability will be affected in cross-
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehiclecontrol.
o Whenever you drive off-road through sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel hub,more frequent maintenance may be required.
o Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of the wheel hubs. o Check your brake condition once you are
out of mud or water. Press the brake severaltimes as you move slowly until your feelnormal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads can result in a severe binding conditionwhen turning the steering wheel.

o The driving posture should be more upright
and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steeringand pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road and avoid dangerous areas.

3-18 (1) Position the vehicle so that one wheel is on
a dry paved surface and the other on ice, snow, mud, etc. Drive the vehicle, and observe the operation of the limited-slip differential. The vehicle should not become stuck if the differential is functioning properly.
(2) Depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and then when traction is good, depress itforcefully. If the vehicle accelerates well, thedifferential is functioning properly.

(If installed) A limited-slip differential, if equipped, is for the
rear wheel differential only. The features of this limited-slip differential are described below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at adifferent speed from the wheel on the other sidewhen the vehicle is cornering. The differencebetween the limited-slip differential and a con-ventional differential is that if the wheel on oneside of the vehicle loses traction, a greateramount of torque is applied to the rear wheel onthe other side to improve traction.

11. Place the wheel cap, and then tap the wheel cap edge with your hand.
12. The fault tire should be repaired and bal- anced as soon as possible.
6. Refer to the section entitled "Jacking up the
vehicle" to select a jacking point near the flattire at which to position the jack, and thenraise the vehicle until the tire is slightly offthe ground. Remove the wheel nuts.
7. Clean away any mud, etc. on the hub sur- face or in the installation holes in the wheel, and then mount the spare tire.
8. With the tapered side of the wheel nuts facing toward the wheel (see illustration),screw the nuts onto the bolt and tighten allthe way by hand, to the extent that the wheelis not loose.
