Driving in Special Conditions WithFour-Wheel Drive
Four-wheel drive has operatingcharacteristics that are somewhatdifferent from front-wheel drive, both onand off the freeway.
When driving at slow speeds under highload conditions use a low gear whenpossible. Low gear operation maximizesthe engine and transmission coolingcapability.
Under severe operating conditions, the airconditioning cycles on and off to preventthe engine from overheating.
Note:It may be useful to select the mostappropriate drive mode to maximize vehicleperformance most effectively. See G.O.A.T.Mode Control (page 241).
Note:In certain conditions, you need toswitch traction control off to allow for morewheel spin and engine torque if your vehiclebecomes stuck.
Note:If the front or rear axle is submergedin water, check the rear axle lubricant andpower transfer unit lubricant and change ifnecessary. See Driving Through WaterLimitations (page 265).
Basic Operating Principles
Drive slower in strong crosswinds whichcan affect the normal steeringcharacteristics of your vehicle.
When driving your vehicle on surfacesmade slippery by loose sand, water, gravel,snow or ice, proceed with care.
If Your Vehicle leaves the Road
If your vehicle leaves the road, reduce yourspeed and avoid severe braking. After youreduce the speed, ease your vehicle backonto the road. Do not turn the steeringwheel sharply when returning your vehicleto the road.
It could be safer to stay on the shoulder ofthe road and gradually slow down beforereturning to the road. You could losecontrol if you do not slow down or if youturn the steering wheel too sharply orabruptly.
It might be less risky to strike small objects,such as freeway reflectors, which couldcause minor damage to your vehicle ratherthan attempt a sudden return to the roadwhich, could cause your vehicle to slidesideways out of control or roll over.Remember, your safety and the safety ofothers is your primary concern.
Emergency Maneuvers
In an unavoidable emergency where youneed to make a sharp turn, remember toavoid over-driving your vehicle, forexample, turn the steering wheel only asrapidly and as far as required to avoid theemergency. Excessive steering can resultin loss of vehicle control. Apply smoothpressure to the accelerator pedal or brakepedal when changes in vehicle speed arerequired. Avoid abrupt steering,acceleration and braking. This could resultin an increased risk of vehicle rollover, lossof vehicle control and personal injury. Useall available road surface to bring yourvehicle to a safe direction of travel.
In the event of an emergency stop, avoidskidding the tires and do not attempt anysharp steering wheel movements.
If your vehicle goes from one type ofsurface to another, for example, fromconcrete to gravel, there will be a changein the way your vehicle responds to amaneuver, for example, steering,acceleration or braking.

Ease off the accelerator as you reach theother side to diminish the front wave. Applythe accelerator slowly and as necessaryto climb out of the other side.
Muddy waters can reduce the coolingsystem effectiveness by depositing debrisinto the radiator.
Take extra care when crossing any type ofwater. Do not drive into water unlessnecessary. Only drive through designatedand approved areas.
High currents even in shallow water canwash the dirt out from around your tires orpush your vehicle across slippery rocks orsurfaces.
Never attempt to cross flowing water thatis deeper than your vehicle's groundclearance. Even low currents can push yourvehicle's body surface area downstreamand out of control.
Do not cross any body of water that is fastflowing and rising. Wait for the flow rateto reduce.
Determine exit points that are downstreamof your entry point to allow for drifting.
If there are other vehicles ahead, wait untilthey have left the water. Unsettled watercan make a safe passage morechallenging.
Know your vehicle’s abilities and be ableto recover it if something goes wrong.
Keep the doors fully closed during a watercrossing.
Periodically inspect vehicles used totraverse water regularly for signs of wateringestion in all of the vehicle's fluids. If youfind water inside your vehicle fluids, serviceyour vehicle or see an authorized dealer.
After driving through water and as soon asit is safe to do so, check the brakes, horn,lights, and steering wheel to make sureeverything is still in working order.
Avoid Getting High-Centered
Always keep available ground clearancein mind and pick a route that minimizes therisk of catching the underside of the vehicleon an obstacle and getting high-centered.
Freeing A Stuck Vehicle
WARNING: Do not spin the wheelsat over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires mayfail and injure a passenger or bystander.
The vehicle has recovery hooks on theframe which you can use to pull out thevehicle from a surface of location whenstuck.
Note:Do not use recovery hooks torecreationally tow your vehicle. See Towingthe Vehicle on Four Wheels (page 258).
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,you may rock it out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Pressthe accelerator in each gear.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engineis not at normal operating temperature ordamage to the transmission could occur.
Note:Do not rock your vehicle for morethan a minute or damage to thetransmission and tires could occur or theengine may overheat.
If you are unable to free your vehicle, callroadside assistance. See RoadsideAssistance (page 269).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Use only approved wheel and tire sizes.Using other sizes could damage yourvehicle. If you change the diameter of thetires from what is fitted at the factory, thespeedometer may not display the correctspeed. If you intend to change the size ofthe wheels from what was fitted by themanufacturer, you can check the suitabilitywith your dealer.
Additional information related to thefunctionality and maintenance of your tirescan be found later in this chapter. See TireCare (page 313).
You can find the recommended tireinflation pressures on the Tire Label, whichis on the B-pillar or the edge of the driverdoor. You can also find this information onthe Safety Compliance Certification Label,affixed to either the door hinge pillar,door-latch post, or the door edge thatmeets the door latch post, next to thedriver seating position.
We strongly recommend maintaining thesetire pressures at all times. Failure to followthe tire pressure recommendations cancause uneven treadwear patterns, reducedfuel economy, and adversely affect theway your vehicle handles.
Note:Check and set the tire pressure at theambient temperature in which you areintending to drive your vehicle and when thetires are cold.
Note:Check your tire pressures at leastonce per month.
If your vehicle has a spare tire, set thepressure to the highest value given for yourvehicle and tire size combination.
Notice to Utility Vehicle and TruckOwners
WARNING: Utility vehicles have asignificantly higher rollover rate thanother types of vehicles.
WARNING: Vehicles with a highercenter of gravity (utility and four-wheeldrive vehicles) handle differently thanvehicles with a lower center of gravity(passenger cars). Avoid sharp turns,excessive speed and abrupt steering inthese vehicles. Failure to drive cautiouslyincreases the risk of losing control of yourvehicle, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
WARNING: In a rollover crash, anunbelted person is significantly morelikely to die than a person wearing aseatbelt.
WARNING: Do not becomeoverconfident in the ability of four-wheeldrive vehicles. Although a four-wheeldrive vehicle may accelerate better thana two-wheel drive vehicle in low tractionsituations, it won't stop any faster thantwo-wheel drive vehicles. Always driveat a safe speed.
Utility vehicles and trucks handledifferently than passenger cars in thevarious driving conditions that areencountered on streets, highways andoff-road. Utility vehicles and trucks are notdesigned for cornering at speeds as highas passenger cars any more than low-slungsports cars are designed to performsatisfactorily under off-road conditions.

TIRE CARE
Information About UniformTire Quality Grading
Tire Quality Grades apply to newpneumatic passenger car tires.The Quality grades can be foundwhere applicable on the tiresidewall between tread shoulderand maximum section width. Forexample: Treadwear 200Traction AA Temperature A.
These Tire Quality Grades aredetermined by standards that theUnited States Department ofTransportation has set.
Tire Quality Grades apply to newpneumatic passenger car tires.They do not apply to deep tread,winter-type snow tires,space-saver or temporary usespare tires, light truck or LT typetires, tires with nominal rimdiameters of 10 to 12 inches orlimited production tires as definedin Title 49 Code of FederalRegulations Part 575.104 (c)(2).
U.S. Department ofTransportation Tire qualitygrades: The U.S. Department ofTransportation requires us to giveyou the following informationabout tire grades exactly as thegovernment has written it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is acomparative rating based on thewear rate of the tire when testedunder controlled conditions on aspecified government test course.For example, a tire graded 150would wear 1½ times as well onthe government course as a tiregraded 100. The relativeperformance of tires dependsupon the actual conditions of theiruse, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due tovariations in driving habits, servicepractices, and differences in roadcharacteristics and climate.
Traction AA A B C
WARNING: The tractiongrade assigned to this tire isbased on straight-ahead brakingtraction tests, and does notinclude acceleration, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
