D090E02HP-GAT Driving Four-wheel drive safely
o The driving posture should be more
upright and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation.
o Be sure to wear the seat belt.
o Drive carefully when off the road
and avoid dangerous areas.
o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a widevariety of off road applications. Spe- cific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordi-nary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you toanticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheeldrive vehicles any more than low- slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-roadconditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
11
!
!
As the jack begins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly posi-tioned and will not slip. Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare tire can be installed.To do this, you will need more ground clearance than is required to remove the flat tire. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve counterclockwise slow to lowerthe ram, and then take out the jack. When the release valve is difficult to turn by jack handle, connect the wheelnut wrench to the jack handle. CAUTION:
1) Use only the jack included with the vehicle and use it only forchanging a wheel and for in- stalling tire chains.
2) Position the jack on a hard, level surface.
3) If the release valve is loosened
by turning it 2 or more times in the counterclockwise direction, the jack's oil will leak and the jack cannot be used. Stop mark

WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! This is very dangerous as the vehicle could fall and cause serious injury or death.No one should stay in the car while the jack is being used.
4) This jack is hydraulic, and the
ram is a two stage type. When both rams are raised and the stop mark of the upper ram becomes visible, stop jacking immediately.

o 4WD has higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide vari- ety of off road applications. Specificdesign characteristics give them a higher centre of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higherground clearance is a better view of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed forcornering at the same speeds as conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports carsare designed to perform satisfacto- rily under off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abruptmaneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in lossof 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 whenyou are driving off-road.
o Drive at lower speeds in strong cross-
winds. Because of your vehicle’shigh centre of gravity, its stability will be affected in crosswinds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle con-trol.
o Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water. Pressthe 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 bindingcondition when turning the steeringwheel.
Driving on dry paved road and highway Select the 2H(2WD) to drive on dry paved roads. Especially on dry high- way, never select the 4H or 4L(4WD).
