Do not shift to vehicle on dry pavement. Driveline hardware dam- a lower gear than necessary to maintain headway. Overage can result.
STARTING AND OPERATING 451 Mud Deep mud creates a great deal of suction around the tires and is very difficult to get through. You should use second gear (manual transmission), or DRIVE (automatic transmission), with the transfer case in the 4L (Low) position to maintain your momentum. If you start to slow to a stop, try turning your steering wheel no more than a 1/4 turn quickly back and forth for additional traction. Mud holes pose an increased threat of vehicle damage and getting stuck.
452 STARTING AND OPERATING Crossing Obstacles (Rocks And Other High Points) While driving off-road, you will encounter many types of terrain. These varying types of terrain bring different types of obstacles. Before proceeding, review the path ahead to determine the correct approach and your ability to safely recover the vehicle if something goes wrong. Keeping a firm grip on the steering wheel, bring the vehicle to a complete stop and then inch the vehicle forward until it makes contact with the object.
STARTING AND OPERATING 453 CAUTION! • Never attempt to straddle a rock that is large enough to strike your axles or undercarriage. • Never attempt to drive over a rock which is large enough to contact the door sills. Crossing A Ravine, Gully, Ditch, Washout Or Rut When crossing a ravine, gully, ditch, washout or a large rut, the angled approach is the key to maintaining your vehicle’s mobility. Approach these obstacles at a 45degree angle and let each tire go through the obstacle independently.
454 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! CAUTION! Do not attempt to cross a log with a greater diameter than the running ground clearance or the vehicle will become high-centered. Winching or rocking the vehicle off hard objects increases the risk of underbody damage. Getting High-Centered If you get hung up or high-centered on an object, get out of the vehicle and try to determine what the vehicle is hung up on, where it is contacting the underbody and what is the best direction to recover the vehicle.
STARTING AND OPERATING 455 branches or other obstacles on the path? Can you safely recover the vehicle if something goes wrong? If everything looks good and you feel confident, shift the transmission into a lower gear with 4L (Low) engaged, and proceed with caution, maintaining your momentum as you climb the hill. Driving Up Hill Once you have determined your ability to proceed and have shifted into the appropriate gear, line your vehicle up for the straightest possible run.
456 STARTING AND OPERATING controlled descent? Are there obstacles? Is it a straight descent? Is there plenty of distance at the base of the hill to regain control if the vehicle descends to fast? If you feel confident in your ability to proceed, then make sure you are in 4L (Low) and proceed with caution. Allow engine braking to control the descent and apply your brakes, if necessary, but do not allow the tires to lock. WARNING! Do not descend a steep grade in NEUTRAL.
