o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a
4H 4H 4H 4H
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 the 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 vehi-
cles any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily under
off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid
sharp turns 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.
o Do not grip the inside or spokes of the
steering wheel when driving off-road. The
steering wheel could jerk and injure your
hands. Always firmly hold the outer steering
wheel when you are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong crosswinds.
Because of your vehicle's high center of
gravity, its stability will be affected in cross-
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.
o Whenever you drive off-road through sand,
mud or water as deep as the wheel hub,
more frequent maintenance may be required.
o Do not drive in water if the level is higher
than the bottom of the wheel hubs.
o Check your brake condition once you are
out of mud or water. Press the brake several
times as you move slowly until your feel
normal braking forces return.
o Four-wheel driving on flat and normal roads
can result in a severe binding condition
when turning the steering wheel.
