OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

When To Use LOW Range — If Equipped

When off-road driving, shift to LOW for additional trac-

tion. This range should be limited to extreme situations

such as deep snow, mud, or sand where additional low

speed pulling power is needed. Vehicle speeds in excess of

25 mph (40 km/h) should be avoided when in LOW range.

Do not drive in 4WD-LOW Range on dry pavement;

driveline damage may result. 4WD-LOW Range

locks front and rear drivelines together and does not

allow for differential action between the front to rear

driveshafts. Driving in 4WD-LOW on pavement will

cause driveline binding; use only on wet or slippery

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

water, there are a number of precautions that must be

considered before entering the water.

When driving through water, do not exceed 5 mph

(8 km/h). Always check water depth before entering,

as a precaution, and check all fluids afterward. Driv-

ing through water may cause damage that may not be

covered by the new vehicle limited warranty.
