However, the front driveline will remain
engaged to the front wheels until the manual
locking hubs are disengaged. To disengage the
manual locking hubs, stop the vehicle and rotate
both hub lock selector knobs counter-clockwise
to the FREE position.
*
[DR17270(B F )06/94]
Operating in 2H with the hubs in the LOCK
position increases fuel consumption, noise,
vibration, and wear. For prolonged 2H operation
on dry pavement, set the manual locking hubs
to the FREE position.

[DR17301(B F )06/94]
To shift between 4H and 4L:
*
[DR17330(B F )05/91]
Stop the vehicle and place the automatic
transmission into NEUTRAL or depress the
clutch on manual transmission vehicles. Push the
transfer case shift knob down (toward the
ground) and at the same time pull or push the
lever straight forward or rearward (depending
on the desired position 4H or 4L) in order to
shift the transfer case. This shift should be with
one continuous motion without pausing in the N
(neutral) position. Pausing in the neutral position
can result in gear clash and difficult shifting. If,
while shifting between 4H and 4L, the transfer
case gets stuck in the N (neutral) position or is
difficult to shift into either 4H or 4L, it may be
necessary to let the vehicle roll slightly and/or
turn off the engine (particularly on vehicles
equipped with automatic transmission).

4x4 SYSTEMS-TOUCH DRIVE
*
[DR17601(B F )06/94]
The Touch Drive 4x4 system functions in three
modes. In Two Wheel Drive mode, power is
delivered only to the rear axle at normal road
speed. The 4H position provides four-wheel
drive with power delivered to the front and rear
axles for increased traction. The 4L position
provides four-wheel drive with power delivered
to the front and rear axles when the above
average power is required at reduced speeds.
*
[DR17630(B F )06/94]
Four wheel drive operation (4x4 or 4x4 LOW
RANGE) on dry pavement is not recommended.
Operating the vehicle in four-wheel drive on dry
pavement will increase noise, vibration, tire
wear, decrease fuel economy, and make
four-wheel drive disengagement difficult for the
transfer case.

[DR20701(B F )11/89]
Driving on Hill or Slope Terrain
*
[DR20800(B F )08/94]
When driving on a hill, it may be necessary to
travel diagonally up or down. Avoid driving
crosswise or turning on steep slopes, you could
lose traction and slip sideways. Drive straight
up, straight down or avoid the hill completely.
Know the conditions on the other side of a hill
before driving over the crest.
*
[DR20900(B F )11/89]
When climbing a steep hill, start in a lower gear,
rather than finding it necessary to downshift
from a higher gear after the ascent has started.
This reduces strain on the engine and the
possibility of stalling.
*
[DR21000(B F )11/89]
When descending a steep hill avoid sudden
braking. Rapid pumping of the brake pedal will
help slow the vehicle and still maintain steering
control.
*
[DR21101(B F )11/89]
Driving on Snow or Ice
*
[DR21200(B F )10/90]
A four-wheel drive vehicle has advantages over
two-wheel drive vehicles in snow and ice but
can skid like any other vehicle. If so equipped,
keep the vehicle in four-wheel drive if icy or
slippery conditions exist.
*
[DR21300(B F )11/89]
Avoid sudden applications of power and quick
changes of direction on snow or ice. Apply the
accelerator slowly and steadily when starting
from a full stop.
[DR21312(B F )05/95]
All utility-type and Four-Wheel Drive vehicles
have special design and equipment features to
make them capable of performing in a wide
variety of off-road applications. Specific design
characteristics give them higher centers of
gravity than ordinary passenger cars.

4WABS driver warning light
[DR22955(BE )08/94]
The 4WABS computer continuously monitors the
system while driving for any electrical faults or
system malfunctions. In addition, the 4WABS
computer performs an initial system check called
bulb proveout when the vehicle ignition is
switched on. During bulb proveout, the amber
ªABSº light on the instrument cluster will
momentarily illuminate and then go out.
*
[DR22960(BE )03/93]
NOTE: After starting the vehicle and upon
initial drive-off, the driver may notice
a single pulse of the brake pedal and a
noise from the engine compartment.
This is part of the initial system check
and is normal.
[DR22965(BE )08/94]
Should a malfunction in the 4WABS system
occur, the amber ªABSº light on the instrument
cluster will come on and stay on indicating that
the antilock system has been shut down and the
vehicle needs to be serviced. Normal braking is
not affected unless the red brake warning light
is also illuminated.

Stopping Distances
*
[DR24100( ALL)11/89]
Stopping distances vary with different loads and
driving conditions. Use caution when
encountering new conditions and acquaint
yourself with vehicle performance. Take full
advantage of engine braking power when
slowing down.

[DR24200( ALL)01/95]
Applying the Brakes
*
[DR24300( ALL)05/95]
Apply the brake pedal gradually. Use the
ªsqueezeº technique Ð push on the brake pedal
with a steadily increasing force. This allows the
wheels to continue to roll while you are slowing
down, which lets you steer properly.
*
[DR24400( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not drive with your foot resting on the
brake pedal. This will increase your
vehicle's stopping distance and may also
cause brake damage.

RWARNING
To avoid losing control on slippery roads,
do not downshift into Low with the
automatic transmission when moving
faster than 20 mph (32 km/h). Do not
downshift into First with the manual

5 mph (8 km/h).
*
[DR27350(B F )06/94]
RWARNING
The rear antilock brake system may not
prevent brake lock-up on extremely
slippery surfaces. Rear brake lock-up may
also occur while driving in four-wheel
drive because the transfer case couples the
front and rear axles together.
*
[DR27450(BEF )03/95]
Traction-Lok Rear Axle (If equipped)
*
[DR27501(BEF )03/95]
This axle provides added drive away traction on
slippery surfaces, particularly when one or more
wheels are on a surface with poor traction.
*
[DR27550(BEF )03/93]
Extended use of other than matching size tires
on a Traction-Lok rear axle could result in a
permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss of
effectiveness does not affect normal driving and
should not be noticeable to the driver.

[DR28050(BEF )03/95]
Driving With a Heavy Load
*
[DR28101(BEF )01/95]
There are limits to the amount of weight your
vehicle can carry or tow. The total weight of
your vehicle, plus the weight of the passengers
and cargo, should never be more than the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Also, the weight
that your vehicle carries over the front axle and
rear axle should never be more than the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the respective
axle.
*
[DR28150(BEF )01/95]
The weight limits of your vehicle's tires affect
the GVWR or GAWR limitations. Usage of
replacement tires with higher weight limit than
originals does not increase GVWR or GAWR.
Usage of lower capacity replacement tires may
lower GVWR and GAWR limitations.
*
[DR28201(BEF )02/95]
RWARNING
If the GVWR or the GAWR specified on
the Safety Compliance Certification Label
is exceeded, your vehicle may be damaged
or you may lose control and injure
someone.
