Four-Wheel Drive System (If Equipped)
WARNING: Do not becomeoverconfident in the ability of four-wheeldrive vehicles. Although a four-wheeldrive vehicle may accelerate better thana two-wheel drive vehicle in low tractionsituations, it won't stop any faster thantwo-wheel drive vehicles. Always driveat a safe speed.
A vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive,when selected, has the ability to use allfour wheels to power itself. This increasestraction which can enable you to safelydrive over terrain and road conditions thata conventional two-wheel drive vehiclecannot.
On some four-wheel drive vehicles, theinitial shift from two-wheel to four-wheeldrive when the vehicle is moving can causea momentary clunk and ratcheting sound.These sounds are normal and are notcause for concern.
In four-wheel drive vehicles, the size of thespare tire relative to the remaining tires canhave an effect on the four-wheel drivesystem. If there is a significant differencebetween the size of a spare and theremaining tires, four-wheel drivefunctionality could be limited or disabled.
Note:The spare tire is only intended to beused in emergency situations. Replace theroad wheel as soon as possible as extendeduse of a spare wheel can result in vehiclewear. Ensure all four tires are matching inmanufacturer, size, and wear.
How Your Vehicle Differs fromOther Vehicles
Sport utility vehicles and trucks can differfrom some other vehicles in a fewnoticeable ways. Your vehicle can be:
•Higher - to allow higher load carryingcapacity and to allow it to travel overrough terrain without getting stuck ordamaging underbody components.
•Shorter - to give it the capability toapproach inclines and drive over thecrest of a hill without getting stuck ordamaging underbody components. Ashorter wheelbase can make yourvehicle quicker to respond to steeringinputs than a vehicle with a longerwheelbase.
•Narrower - to provide greatermaneuverability in tight spaces,particularly in off-road use.
As a result of the above dimensionaldifferences, sport utility vehicles and trucksoften have a higher center of gravity and agreater difference in center of gravitybetween the loaded and unloadedcondition. These differences that makeyour vehicle so versatile, also make ithandle differently than an ordinarypassenger car.
