The differences that make your vehicle soversatile also make it handle differently thanan ordinary passenger car.

Note:Your vehicle may have a front air dam.Due to low ground clearance, you candamage it when taking your vehicle off-road.You can take the air dam off by removingthe bolts that secure it.
Four-wheel drive vehicles are speciallyequipped for driving on sand, snow, mud andrough terrain and have operatingcharacteristics that are somewhat differentfrom conventional vehicles, both on and offthe road.
Power is supplied to all four wheels througha transfer case. On four-wheel drive vehicles,the transfer case allows you to utilizedifferent 4X4 modes when necessary.Information on transfer case operation andshifting procedures can be found in this
