complements other vehicle systems, allowing
them to operate at optimum performance.
The system restarts the engine if:
•
You switch the heated windshield on.
• You switch maximum defrost on.
• Your vehicle starts to roll downhill in
neutral.
• The engine is required to run to maintain
adequate brake system assistance.
• The engine is required to run to maintain
interior climate and reduce fogging.
Can I permanently switch the system
off ?
No. The system plays an important role in
reducing the fuel consumption and the CO 2
emissions. Will the frequent engine starts cause
parts to wear out?
Your vehicle has an enhanced battery and
starter motor that are designed for the
increased number of engine starts.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE DRIVING HINTS
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS
In an unavoidable emergency situation
where a sudden sharp turn must be made,
remember to avoid over-driving your vehicle
(i.e. turn the steering wheel only as rapidly
and as far as required to avoid the
emergency). Excessive steering can result
in loss of vehicle control. Apply smooth
pressure to the accelerator pedal or brake
226

pedal when changes in vehicle speed are
required. Avoid abrupt steering, acceleration
and braking. This could result in an increased
risk of vehicle roll over, loss of vehicle control
and personal injury. Use all available road
surface to bring your vehicle to a safe
direction of travel.
In the event of an emergency stop, avoid
skidding the tires and do not attempt any
sharp steering wheel movements.
If your vehicle goes from one type of surface
to another (i.e. from concrete to gravel) there
can be a change in the way your vehicle
responds to a maneuver, i.e. steering,
acceleration or braking.
DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail.
Avoid reducing the tire pressures but shift
to a lower gear and drive steadily through
the terrain. Apply the accelerator slowly and
avoid excessive wheel slip.
When driving at slow speeds in deep sand
under high outside temperatures, use a low
gear when possible. Low gear operation can
maximize the engine and transmission
cooling capability.
Avoid driving at excessive speed. This
causes vehicle momentum to work against
you and your vehicle could become stuck to
the point that assistance may be required
from another vehicle. Remember, you may
be able to back out the way you came if you
proceed with caution.
DRIVING THROUGH MUD AND WATER
WARNING: Do not spin the wheels
at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may
fail and injure a passenger or bystander. Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle
speed or direction when you are driving in
mud. Even four-wheel drive vehicles can lose
traction in slick mud. If your vehicle does
slide, steer in the direction of the slide until
you regain control of your vehicle. After
driving through mud, clean off residue stuck
to rotating driveshafts and tires. Excess mud
stuck on tires and rotating driveshafts can
cause an imbalance that could damage drive
components.
Water
If you must drive through high water, drive
slowly. Traction or brake capability may be
limited. When driving through water,
determine the depth and avoid water higher
than the bottom of the hubs. If the ignition
system gets wet, your vehicle may stall. Once
through water, test the brakes. Wet brakes
do not stop your vehicle as effectively as dry
brakes. Drying improves by applying light
pressure to the brake pedal while moving
slowly.
227

(If Equipped)

Note:
Driving through deep water may
damage the transmission. If the front or rear
axle is submerged in water, the axle
lubricant and power transfer unit lubricant
should be checked and changed if
necessary.
DRIVING ON HILLY OR SLOPING
TERRAIN
Although natural obstacles may make it
necessary to travel diagonally up or down a
hill or steep incline, you should try to drive
straight up or straight down.
Note: Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.
A danger lies in losing traction, slipping
sideways and possible vehicle roll over.
Whenever driving on a hill, determine
beforehand the route you can use. Do not
drive over the crest of a hill without seeing
what conditions are on the other side. Do
not drive in reverse over a hill without the
aid of an observer. When climbing a steep slope or hill, start in
a lower gear rather than downshifting to a
lower gear from a higher gear once the
ascent has started. This reduces strain on
the engine and the possibility of stalling.
If your vehicle stalls, do not try to turnaround
because this could cause vehicle roll over.
It is better to reverse back to a safe location.
Apply just enough power to the wheels to
climb the hill. Too much power can cause
the tires to slip, spin or lose traction, resulting
in loss of vehicle control.
Descend a hill in the same gear you would
use to climb up the hill to avoid excessive
brake application and brake overheating. Do
not descend in neutral. Disengage overdrive
or move the transmission selector lever to a
lower gear. When descending a steep hill,
avoid sudden hard braking as you could lose
control. The front wheels have to be turning
in order to steer your vehicle.
Note:
If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,
apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump the
brakes. DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE
Four-wheel drive vehicles have advantages
over two-wheel drive vehicles in snow and
ice but can skid like any other vehicle.
Should you start to slide while driving on
snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel
in the direction of the slide until you regain
control.
Avoid sudden applications of power and
quick changes of direction on snow and ice.
Apply the accelerator slowly and steadily
when starting from a full stop. Avoid sudden
braking. Although a four-wheel drive vehicle
can accelerate better than a two-wheel drive
vehicle in snow and ice, it cannot stop any
faster as braking occurs at all four wheels.
Do not become overconfident as to road
conditions.
Make sure you allow sufficient distance
between you and other vehicles for stopping.
Drive slower than usual and consider using
one of the lower gears. In emergency
stopping situations, apply the brake steadily.
Do not pump the brake pedal. See Anti-Lock
Braking System Limitations (page 233).
