Driving off-road with truck and utility vehicles
Four–wheel drive vehicles are specially equipped for driving on sand,
snow, mud and rough terrain and have operating characteristics that are
somewhat different from conventional vehicles, both on and off the road.
The AdvanceTracwith Roll Stability Control™ (RSC) stability
enhancement system can be turned off manually by pressing the
AdvanceTracwith RSCbutton (refer toAdvanceTracwith Roll
Stability Control™ (RSC) Stability Enhancement Systemin this
chapter) while operating in 2H, 4A or 4H while driving in deep sand,
very deep snow or more strenuous off-road maneuvers. This will disable
the engine management feature, allowing the vehicle to maintain full
power and enhanced momentum through the obstacle.
How your vehicle differs from other vehicles
Truck and utility vehicles can differ from some other vehicles. Your
vehicle may be higher to allow it to travel over rough terrain without
getting hung up or damaging underbody components.
The differences that make your vehicle so versatile also make it handle
differently than an ordinary passenger car.
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 from the outside. Do not
grip the spokes.
