Climbing sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to the "4LLc" position to maximize
the engine torque.
WARNING
!
● Go straight up. Do not try to traverse across a steep
slope.
● If you begin to lose traction, ease off the accelerator
pedal and gently turn the steering wheel alterna-
tively left and right to regain adequate traction
again.
NOTE
● Choose as smooth a slope as possible with few stones or
other obstacles.
● Before attempting to drive up the slope, walk up it to con-
firm that the vehicle can handle the grade.
Descending sharp grades
Set the transfer shift lever to the "4LLc" position, use the
engine brake (downshifting) and descend slowly.
WARNING
!
● Avoid snaking down a sharp grade. Descend the
grade as straight as possible.
NOTE
● When descending a sharp grade, if the brakes are applied
suddenly because of an obstacle encountered, control of
the vehicle could be lost. Before descending the slope,
walk down it and confirm the path.
● Before descending a grade, it is necessary to choose the
appropriate gear. Avoid changing gears or depressing the
clutch while descending the grade.

tor for any damage or injury caused or liability incurred
by the improper and negligent operation of a vehicle. All
techniques of vehicle operation described herein depend
on the skill and experience of the operator and other par-
ticipating parties and any deviation from the recom-
mended operation instructions above is at their own risk.
Turning sharp corners
When turning a sharp corner in the "4HLc" or "4LLc" position
at low speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced
similar to as if the brakes were applied. This is called tight cor-
ner braking and results from each of the 4 tyres being at a dif-
ferent distance from the corner.
The phenomenon is peculiar to 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this
occurs, either straighten the steering wheel, or change to rear-
wheel drive.
