Do not use supplemental transmissionfluid additives, treatments or cleaningagents. The use of these materials mayaffect transmission operation and resultin damage to internal transmissioncomponents.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
WARNING: Do not use any fluidother than the recommended brake fluidas this will reduce brake efficiency. Useof incorrect fluid could result in the lossof vehicle control, serious personal injuryor death.
WARNING: Only use brake fluidfrom a sealed container. Contaminationwith dirt, water, petroleum products orother materials may result in brakesystem damage or failure. Failure toadhere to this warning could result in theloss of vehicle control, serious personalinjury or death.
WARNING: Do not allow the fluidto touch your skin or eyes. If thishappens, rinse the affected areasimmediately with plenty of water andcontact your physician.
WARNING: The brake systemcould be affected if the brake fluid levelis below the MIN mark or above the MAXmark on the brake fluid reservoir.
Note:A fluid level between the MAX andMIN lines is within the normal operatingrange and there is no need to add fluid. Afluid level not in the normal operating rangecould compromise the performance of thesystem. Have the system checked as soonas possible by an authorized dealer.
To avoid fluid contamination, the reservoircap must remain in place and fully tight,unless you are adding fluid.
Only use fluid that meets ourspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 339).
Brake Fluid Service Interval
Brake fluid absorbs water over time whichdegrades the effectiveness of the brakefluid. Change brake fluid at the specifiedintervals to prevent degraded brakingperformance.
For detailed interval information, seeScheduled Maintenance in your Owner'sManual or your local maintenance guide.

Study your owner's manual and anysupplements for specific information aboutequipment features, instructions for safedriving and additional precautions toreduce the risk of an accident or seriousinjury.
Four-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
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.
A vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive,when selected, has the ability to use allfour wheels to power itself. This increasestraction which can enable you to safelydrive over terrain and road conditions thata conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot.
On some four-wheel drive vehicles, theinitial shift from two-wheel to four-wheeldrive when the vehicle is moving can causea momentary clunk and ratcheting sound.These sounds are normal and are notcause for concern.
In four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of thespare tire relative to the remaining tires canhave an effect on the four-wheel drivesystem. If there is a significant differencebetween the size of a spare and theremaining tires, four-wheel drivefunctionality could be limited or disabled.
Note:The spare tire is only intended to beused in emergency situations. Replace theroad wheel as soon as possible as extendeduse of a spare wheel can result in vehiclewear. Ensure all four tires are matching inmanufacturer, size, and wear.
How Your Vehicle Differs fromOther Vehicles
Sport utility vehicles and trucks can differfrom some other vehicles in a fewnoticeable ways. Your vehicle can be:
•Higher - to allow higher load carryingcapacity and to allow it to travel overrough terrain without getting stuck ordamaging underbody components.
•Shorter - to give it the capability toapproach inclines and drive over thecrest of a hill without getting stuck ordamaging underbody components. Ashorter wheelbase can make yourvehicle quicker to respond to steeringinputs than a vehicle with a longerwheelbase.
•Narrower - to provide greatermaneuverability in tight spaces,particularly in off-road use.
As a result of the above dimensionaldifferences, sport utility vehicles and trucksoften have a higher center of gravity and agreater difference in center of gravitybetween the loaded and unloadedcondition. These differences that makeyour vehicle so versatile, also make ithandle differently than an ordinarypassenger car.
