select lever into the neutral position. Apply the
parking brake to help prevent the vehicle from roll-
ing.

Parking on a slope
WARNING
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines. Park-
ing on a hill or other incline could cause the ve-
hicle to roll out of control, increasing the
chance of an accident. If you must park on an
incline, apply the parking brake, and block the
front and rear wheels with rocks or other ob-
jects.
Do not park the vehicle at all on hills that are so
steep you could not walk up them easily.

LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE
You should become familiar with the performance
characteristics of the vehicle in a large, flat area
that is free of obstacles and other vehicles. Prac-
tice control of the accelerator pedal, brakes, steer-
ing, and drive select lever. Drive first at slow speed
and become comfortable at that speed before
gradually increasing your speed. Become familiar
with the way the vehicle feels in low and high rang-
es, first in two-wheel drive (2WD) and then in four-
wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel drive with the
differential locked (DIFF. LOCK). Also practice
driving in reverse. Take the time to learn basic op-
eration before attempting more difficult maneu-
vers.

APPRENDRE À CONDUIRE SON VÉHICULE
Il faut se familiariser avec les particularités de la conduite
de ce véhicule sur un grand terrain plat dépourvu d’obs-
tacles ou d’autres véhicules. S’entraîner à utiliser la péda-
le d’accélérateur, les freins, le volant et le sélecteur de
marche. Conduire d’abord lentement et s’habituer à cette
vitesse avant d’accélérer progressivement. Se familiari-
ser avec le comportement du véhicule dans les gammes
basse et haute, d’abord en traction sur deux roues
(“2WD”), puis en traction sur quatre roues (“4WD”) et
avec le différentiel bloqué (“DIFF. LOCK”). S’entraîner
également à rouler en marche arrière. Prendre le temps
d’apprendre correctement les techniques de base avant de
s’attaquer à des manœuvres plus difficiles.APRENDIZAJE DEL MANEJO DEL VEHÍCULO
Debe familiarizarse con las características y las
prestaciones del vehículo en un espacio amplio, lla-
no, sin obstáculos ni otros vehículos. Practique el
control del pedal del acelerador, los frenos, la direc-
ción y la palanca selectora de marcha. Empiece con-
duciendo a poca velocidad hasta que se encuentre
cómodo antes de incrementarla progresivamente.
Familiarícese con la forma en que se siente el vehí-
culo en marcha corta y marcha larga, primero con
tracción en dos ruedas (2WD) y luego con tracción
integral (4WD) y tracción integral con bloqueo del di-
ferencial (DIFF. LOCK). Pratique asimismo la mar-
cha atrás. Tómese su tiempo para aprender la con-
ducción básica antes de intentar maniobras más
difíciles.EE.book Page 10 Friday, August 4, 2006 12:02 PM

CAUTION:_ Do not shift from low to high or vice versa with-
out coming to a complete stop and waiting for
the engine to return to normal idle speed. Dam-
age to the engine or drive train may occur. _TURNING YOUR VEHICLE
The vehicle is easier to steer in two-wheel drive
(2WD) than four-wheel drive (4WD). Steering
takes the most effort in 4WD with the differential
locked (DIFF. LOCK).
It is possible for the vehicle to roll over or go out of
control if you attempt sharp, high-speed turns. You
should also be careful making sharp turns on
rough terrain. Do not attempt to turn around or
make abrupt maneuvers on slopes.

ATTENTION:_ Ne pas passer de la gamme basse à la gamme haute
(ou vice-versa) avant l’arrêt complet du véhicule et
avant que le moteur soit retourné à son régime de ra-
lenti normal. Le moteur ou la transmission risquent
d’être endommagés. _PRISE DE VIRAGES
Le véhicule est plus facile à diriger en traction sur deux
roues (“2WD”) qu’en traction sur quatre roues (“4WD”).
La direction est au plus dur en traction sur quatre roues
avec le différentiel bloqué (“DIFF. LOCK”).
Il se peut que le véhicule capote ou que l’on perde son
contrôle si l’on entame un virage trop court à grande vi-
tesse. Il faut également être très prudent lors de la prise de
virages courts sur des terrains accidentés. Ne pas tenter
de faire demi-tour ou d’effectuer des manœuvres brus-
ques sur une pente.
AT E N C I O N :_ No cambie de marcha corta a marcha larga y vi-
ceversa sin detener completamente el vehículo y
esperar a que el motor gire al régimen normal de
ralentí. El motor y el conjunto de la transmisión
se pueden averiar. _VIRAJES
El vehículo resulta más fácil de dirigir con la tracción
a dos ruedas (2WD) que con la tracción integral
(4WD). La dirección requiere el mayor esfuerzo con
tracción integral y bloqueo del diferencial (DIFF.
LOCK).
El vehículo puede volcar o quedar fuera de control si
intenta efectuar virajes cerrados y a velocidad eleva-
da. Asimismo, debe tener cuidado al trazar curvas
cerradas en terreno irregular. No intente cambiar de
sentido o efectuar maniobras bruscas en pendien-
tes.

WARNING


Never operate the vehicle on hills too steep
for it or your abilities. The vehicle can over-
turn more easily on extremely steep hills
than on level surfaces or small hills. Prac-
tice on smaller hills before attempting
large hills.


Do not drive across the face of a hill. Go
straight up the hill.


Never operate vehicles on hills steeper
than 15°.
Before climbing the hill, first be sure you are oper-
ating in low range 4WD or, if necessary, with 4WD
Diff. Lock. To climb a hill, you need traction, mo-
mentum, and steady throttle. Travel fast enough to
keep your momentum going, but not so fast that
you cannot react to changes in the terrain as you
climb. Slow down when you reach the crest of the
hill if you cannot clearly see what is on the other
side – there could be another person, an obstacle,
or a sharp drop off.
