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.
