Starting and driving
states for emissions testing), or similar
equipment even if the other two wheels
are raised off the ground. Make sure you
inform test facility personnel that your
vehicle is equipped with 4WD before it is
placed on a dynamometer. Using the
wrong test equipment may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle
movement which could result in serious
vehicle damage or personal injury (4WD
models).
.
When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively.
.
Accelerating quickly, sharp steering
maneuvers or sudden braking may cause
loss of control.
.
If at all possible, avoid sharp turning
maneuvers, particularly at high speeds.
Your vehicle has a higher center of
gravity than a conventional passenger
car. The vehicle is not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as con-
ventional passenger cars. Failure to
operate this vehicle correctly could
result in loss of control and/or a rollover
accident.
.
Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or
radial), and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Install tire chains on the rear
wheels when driving on slippery roads
and drive carefully.
.
Be sure to check the brakes immediately
after driving in mud or water. See “Brake
system” (P.5-134) for wet brakes.
.
Avoid parking your vehicle on steep
hills. If you get out of the vehicle and it
rolls forward, backward or sideways, you
could be injured.
.
Whenever you drive off-road through
sand, mud or water as deep as the wheel
hub, more frequent maintenance may be
required. See the maintenance sche-
dules shown in the "9. Maintenance
and schedules" section.
.
Spinning the rear wheels on slippery
surfaces may cause the 4WD warning
light to flash. The 4WD system may also
automatically switch from the 4WD mode
to the 2WD mode. This could reduce
traction. Be especially careful when
towing a trailer (4WD models).
WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in an
emergency. (The engine will stop when the
ignition switch is pushed 3 consecutive
times or the ignition switch is pushed and
held for more than 2 seconds.) If the engine
stops while the vehicle is being driven, this
could lead to a crash and serious injury.
Before operating the push-button ignition
switch, be sure to move the shift lever to
the P (Park) position.
