LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE
You should become familiar with the performance
characteristics of the vehicle in a large, flat area
that is free of obstacles and other vehicles. Prac-
tice control of the accelerator pedal, brakes, steer-
ing, and drive select lever. Drive first at slow speed
and become comfortable at that speed before
gradually increasing your speed. Become familiar
with the way the vehicle feels in low and high rang-
es, first in two-wheel drive (2WD) and then in four-
wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel drive with the
differential locked (DIFF. LOCK). Also practice
driving in reverse. Take the time to learn basic op-
eration before attempting more difficult maneu-
vers.

CAUTION:_ Do not shift from low to high or vice versa with-
out coming to a complete stop and waiting for
the engine to return to normal idle speed. Dam-
age to the engine or drive train may occur. _TURNING YOUR VEHICLE
The vehicle is easier to steer in two-wheel drive
(2WD) than four-wheel drive (4WD). Steering
takes the most effort in 4WD with the differential
locked (DIFF. LOCK).
It is possible for the vehicle to roll over or go out of
control if you attempt sharp, high-speed turns. You
should also be careful making sharp turns on
rough terrain. Do not attempt to turn around or
make abrupt maneuvers on slopes.
