PRECAUTIONS WHEN
DRIVING ON-PAVEMENT
AND OFF-ROAD

DRIVING

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS
4×4  Utility  vehicles  have  higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track  to  make  them  capable  of
performing  in  a  wide  variety  of
off-road

applications.

Specific

design characteristics give them a
higher  center  of  gravity  than
ordinary  cars.  An  advantage  of
higher  ground  clearance  is  a
better  view  of  the  road,  allowing
you  to  anticipate  problems.  They
are  not  designed  for  cornering  at
the same speeds as conventional
2-wheel  drive  vehicles  any  more
than  low-slung  sports  cars  are
designed  to  perform  satisfactorily
under  off-road  conditions.  If  at  all
possible,  avoid  sharp  Tums  or
abrupt  maneuvers.  As  with  other
vehicles  of  this  type,  failure  to
operate this vehicle correctly may

result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.

CARE WHEN DRIVING

Driving  your  vehicle  to  fit  the
circumstances  is  essential  for
your  safety  and  comfort.  As  a
driver, you should be the one who
knows  best  how  to  drive  in  the
given circumstances.

ENGINE COLD START PERIOD
Due  to  the  higher  engine  speeds
when  the  engine  is  cold,  extra
caution  must  be  exercised  when
selecting  gear  (automatic  and
manual).

LOADING THE BAGGAGE
Load and their distribution and the
attachment

equipment

(coupling  devices,  roof  baggage
carriers,  etc.)  will  change  the
driving  characteristics  of  the
vehicle considerably. Driving style
and  speed  must  be  changed
according to the circumstances.

WHEN THE ROAD IS WET

●

Avoid

starting

off,

accelerating

and

stopping

suddenly.

●

Avoid sharp turns or lane

changes.

●

Extra distance should be

kept from the vehicle in front.

●

When water covers the

road  surface  in  puddles,  small
streams,  etc.,  REDUCE  SPEED
to  prevent  aquaplaning  which
will cause skidding and loss of
control.

●

Worm tires increase this

risk.

UNDER WINTER CONDITIONS

●

Drive sensitively

●

Avoid

sudden

steering

actions.

●

Extra distance should be

kept from the vehicle in front.

TRAILER TOWING

Your vehicle was designed to be
used

primarily

for

carrying

passengers

and

luggage.

Remember that towing a trailer
will place additional loads on your
vehicle’s engine, drive train,
steering,

braking

and

other

systems. Also, towing a trailer will
exaggerate  other  conditions  such
as  sway  caused  by  crosswinds,
rough  road  surfaces  or  passing
trucks.  Driving  style  and  speed
must be changed according to the
circumstances.

●

Choose proper coupling

devices (trailer hitch, safety
chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your
vehicle.

●

Never allow the total trailer

load (trailer weight plus its
cargo weight) and coupling
device to be exceeded.

●

Before driving, make sure

that the lighting system of the
trailer works properly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

starts,

acceleration or stops.

●

Avoid sharp turns or lane

changes.

●

Always drive your vehicle

at a moderate speed.

●

Always block the wheels

on both vehicle and trailer
when parking. Apply parking
brake on trailer where fitted.

●

Parking on a steep slope is

not recommended.

●

Take

4H position supplies the max

power and traction force. Avoid
excessive speed, as it will cause
loss of traction. Speed over 80
km/h in 4H is not recommended.

— （ 4WD, low range ） Four

wheels  are  driven.  Use  when
climbing or descending steep hills,
or  during  hard  driving  in  sand,
mud  or  deep  snow.  The  “4L”

AUTO-LOCK
FREE-RUNNING HUBS

The auto-lock free-running hub is
designed to allow for automatic
4-wheel drive engagement when
the shift lever is

moved to the “4H”

or “4L” position. If your vehicle is
equipped with this system, follow
these operational cautions:

CAUTION:

●

When

disengaging,

the

auto-lock

hubs will make a clicking noise.
This is normal.

●

Accelerating the vehicle

suddenly  from  a  stop  with  the
transfer lever in the “4H” or “4L”
position  may  not  engage  the
auto-lock  free-running  hub  and
may  cause  a  clattering  noise.
Continued  use  of  the  vehicle
with this noise may damage the
hub  lock.  In  such  a  case,
release the accelerator pedal to
reduce the engine speed.

●

If the auto-lock hubs make

a  clattering  noise  while  driving
with  the  transfer  lever  in  the
“2H”  position,  stop  and  move
the vehicle about 2 to 3 meters
(7  to  10  ft)  in  the  opposite
direction of travel.

DRIVING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS

Your  vehicle  is  designed  for  both
normal and off-road use. However,
avoid  driving  in  deep  water  or
mud  as  your  vehicle  is  mainly
designed for leisure use, unlike a
conventional off-road vehicle.
Remember  that  2-wheel  drive
models  are  less  capable  than
4-wheel  drive  models  for  rough
road  driving  and  extrication  when
stuck in deep snow or mud, or the
like.
Please  observe  the  following
precautions:

CAUTION:

●

Drive carefully when off the

road  and  avoid  dangerous
areas.  Always  wear  your  seat
belts to help keep you and your
passengers  in  position  when
driving over rough terrain.

●

Do not drive across steep

slopes.  Instead  drive  either
straight up or straight down the
slopes.  Off-road  vehicles  can
tip  over  sideways  much  more
easily than they can forward or
backward.

●

Many hills are too steep for

any  vehicle.  If  you  drive  up
them, you may stall. If you drive
down  them,  you  may  not  be
able  to  control  your  speed.  If
you drive across them, you may
roll over.

●

Stay alert when driving to

the top of a hill. At the top there
could be a drop-off or other
hazard that could cause an
accident.

●

If your engine stalls or you

cannot  make  it  to  the  top  of  a
steep hill, never attempt to turn
around.  Your  vehicle  could  tip
or  roll  over.  Always  back
straight could tip or roll

over. Always back straight
down in reverse gear. Never

●

back down in neutral (N) or

with the clutch depressed,
using only the brake, as the
could cause loss of control.

●

Heavy braking going down

a  hill  could  cause  your  brakes
to  overheat  and  fade,  resulting
in  loss  of  control  and  an
accident.  Apply  brakes  lightly
and  use  a  ow  gear  to  control
your speed.

●

Unsecured cargo can be

thrown  around  when  driving
over  rough  terrain.  Properly
secure  it  so  that  it  will  not  be
thrown  forward  and  cause
injury

you

your

passengers.

●

Avoid raising the center of

gravity by loading things on the
roof  or  equipping  the  vehicle
with  tires  larger  than  specified
in  this  manual.  This  could
cause  your  vehicle  to  rollover.
Put  heavy  loads  in  the  cargo

Starting and driving

area as far forward and as low
as possible.

●

Does not grip the inside or

spokes  of  the  steering  wheel
when  driving  off-road.  The
steering  wheel  could  jerk  and
injure your hands. Instead drive
with  your  fingers  and  thumbs
on the outside of the rim.

●

Before operating vehicle,

ensure that the driver and all
passengers have their seat
belts fastened.

●

Always drive with the floor

mats in place as the floor may
become very hot. Particular
care should be taken if you are
barefoot.

●

Lower your speed when

encountering

strong

crosswinds.  With  its  higher
center  of  gravity,  your  vehicle
is  more  affected  by  gusty  side
winds.  Slower  speeds  ensure
better vehicle control.

●

Do not drive beyond the

performance of the tires even
with 4WD.

●

Sudden acceleration, sharp

steering maneuvers or sudden
braking may cause loss of
control.

●

Install the same size of

winter tires on all four (4)
wheels (such as stud less tires)
or install tire chains to rear
wheels

when

driving

slippery roads (e.g., after a
snow and drive carefully using
4WD).

●

Be sure to check the

brakes

immediately

after

driving in mud or water as
specified in

“WET BRAKES”

under the heading

“Precautions

when driving

”.

●

Whenever

you

drive

off-road through sand, mud or
water as deep as the wheel hub,
more

frequent

maintenance

may be required. For details,
refer to

“Maintenance under

severe driving conditions

” in a

separate maintenance booklet.

●

Avoid parking your vehicle

on steep hills. If you get out of
the vehicle and it rolls forward,

backward or sideways, you
could be inured.

×4 TIRES OF 4-WHEEL

DRIVE

CAUTION:

Always  use  tires  of  the  same
size,  brand,  construction  (bias,
bias-belted or radial), and tread
pattern  on  all  four  wheels.
Failure to do so may result in a
circumference

difference

between  tires  on  the  front  and
rear  axles  which  will  cause
excessive  tire  wear  and  may
damage

the

transmission

transfer  case  and  differential
gears.
If excessive tire wear is found, it is
recommended that all four tires be
replaced  with  tires  of  the  same
size,  brand,  construction  and
tread  pattern.  The  tire  pressure
and  wheel  alignment  should  also
be  checked  and  corrected  as
necessary.

Contact

your

PARSKHODRO dealer.
Snow tires

If you install snow tires, they must
also be the same size, brand,
construction and tread pattern on
tall four wheels.

CAUTION:

Only  use  spare  tires  specified
for each 4-wheel drive model.
Tire inflation pressure
Check  the  pressure  in  all  tires,
including the spare, with a gauge
periodically  when  at  a  service
station.  Adjust  to  the  specified
pressure

necessary.

Tire

pressures  are  shown  on  the  tire
placard affixed to the glove box.
Tire rotation
PARSKHODRO recommends that
tires  be  rotated  every  5,000  km  .
Do  not  include  the  temporary
spare tire in the tire rotation.
Tire chain
Tire chains must be installed only
on the rear wheels and not on the
front wheels.
Do  not  drive  with  tire  chains  on
paved  roads  which  are  clear  of
snow. Driving with chains in such
conditions  can  cause  damage  to

the  various  mechanisms  of  the
vehicle  due  to  some  overstress.
When  driving  on  clear  paved
roads, be sure to change to 2WD.
