Failure to engage a transfer case position completely can cause transfer case damage or loss of power and vehicle control. You could have a collision. Do not drive the vehicle unless the transfer case is fully engaged.
442 STARTING AND OPERATING rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. The 4H and 4L positions are intended for loose, slippery road surfaces only and not intended for normal driving. Driving in the 4H and 4L positions on hard-surfaced roads will cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components. Refer to “Shifting Procedures” in this section for further information on shifting into 4H or 4L.
STARTING AND OPERATING 443 When operating your vehicle in 4L, the engine speed will be approximately three times (four times for Rubicon models) that of the 2H or 4H positions at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the engine. Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type, and circumference on each wheel. Any difference will adversely affect shifting and cause damage to the transfer case. WARNING! (Continued) the parking brake.
444 STARTING AND OPERATING 4H Position 4L Position This range locks the front and rear driveshafts together, forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This range (4H) provides additional traction for loose, slippery road surfaces and should not be used on dry pavement. This range locks the front and rear driveshafts together, forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.

The Basics Of Off-Road Driving You will encounter many types of terrain driving offroad. You should be familiar with the terrain and area before proceeding. There are many types of surface conditions: hard-packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud, snow and ice. Every surface has a different effect on your vehicle’s steering, handling and traction.
452 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! is needed. Vehicle speeds in excess of 25 mph (40 km/h) should be avoided when in 4L (Low) range. Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other combustible materials. The heat from your vehicle exhaust system could cause a fire. CAUTION! WARNING! Always wear your seat belt and firmly tie down cargo. Unsecured cargo can become projectiles in an off-road situation. Do not use 4L (Low) range when operating the vehicle on dry pavement.
STARTING AND OPERATING 453 Driving In Snow, Mud And Sand Mud Snow 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.
454 STARTING AND OPERATING key to driving in soft sand is using the appropriate tire pressure, accelerating slowly, avoiding abrupt maneuvers and maintaining the vehicle’s momentum. If you are going to be driving on large soft sandy areas or dunes, reduce your tire pressure to a minimum of 15 psi (103 kPa) to allow for a greater tire surface area.
STARTING AND OPERATING 455 Using A Spotter CAUTION! There are many times where it is hard to see the obstacle or determine the correct path. Determining the correct • Never attempt to straddle a rock that is large enough to strike your axles or undercarriage. path can be extremely difficult when you are confronting • Never attempt to drive over a rock which is large many obstacles. In these cases have someone guide you enough to contact the door sills. over, through, or around the obstacle.
456 STARTING AND OPERATING You should now be able to drive out following the trench you just created at a 45-degree angle. CAUTION! WARNING! Do not attempt to cross a log with a greater diameter than the running ground clearance or the vehicle will become high-centered. There is an increased risk of rollover when crossing an obstacle, at any angle, with steep sides. Crossing Logs To cross a log, approach it at a slight angle (approximately 10 to 15 degrees).
STARTING AND OPERATING 457 CAUTION! Winching or rocking the vehicle off hard objects increases the risk of underbody damage. Hill Climbing Hill climbing requires good judgment and a good understanding of your abilities and your vehicle’s limitations. Hills can cause serious problems. Some are just too steep to climb and should not be attempted. You should always feel confident with the vehicle and your abilities. You should always climb hills straight up and down. Never attempt to climb a hill on an angle.
458 STARTING AND OPERATING and maintain headway by turning the steering wheel no more than a 1/4 turn quickly back and forth. This will provide a fresh #bite# into the surface and will usually provide enough traction to complete the climb. If you do not make it to the top, place the vehicle in REVERSE and back straight down the grade using engine resistance along with the vehicle brakes. WARNING! Never attempt to climb a hill at an angle or turn around on a steep grade.
STARTING AND OPERATING 459 Driving Across An Incline If at all possible, avoid driving across an incline. If it is necessary, know your vehicle’s abilities. Driving across an incline places more weight on the downhill wheels, which increases the possibilities of a downhill slide or rollover. Make sure the surface has good traction with firm and stable soils. If possible, transverse the incline at an angle heading slightly up or down.

462 STARTING AND OPERATING Crossing Ditches, Streams, Shallow Rivers Or Other Flowing Water Flowing water can be extremely dangerous. Never attempt to cross a fast running stream or river even in shallow water. Fast moving water can easily push your vehicle downstream, sweeping it out of control. Even in very shallow water, a high current can still wash the dirt out from around your tires putting you and your vehicle in jeopardy.
STARTING AND OPERATING 463 • Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and clean as required. WARNING! • Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering, and suspension. Retighten them, if required, and torque to the values specified in the Service Manual. Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might not have full braking power when you need it to prevent a collision.
464 STARTING AND OPERATING • Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steering pump may make noise for a short amount of time. The standard power steering system will give you good This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability system.

STARTING AND OPERATING 465 Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not required. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as anticipated. Coordinate inspection efforts through an authorized dealer. CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your power steering system as the chemicals can damage your power steering components.
466 STARTING AND OPERATING PARKING BRAKE Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is fully applied. Also, be certain to leave an automatic transmission in PARK, or manual transmission in REVERSE or first gear. The parking brake lever is located in the center console. To apply the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the center button, then lower the lever completely.
STARTING AND OPERATING 467 NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied and the automatic transmission is placed in gear, the “Brake Warning Light” will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will sound to alert the driver. Fully release the parking brake before attempting to move the vehicle. • This light only shows that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
468 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! (Continued) CAUTION! • Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle. • Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and a collision. • Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury.
STARTING AND OPERATING 469 In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine OFF) the brakes will still function. The effort required to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required with the power system operating. ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions.
470 STARTING AND OPERATING The Anti-Lock Brake System conducts a low speed selftest at about 12 mph (20 km/h). If for any reason your foot is on the brake when the vehicle reaches 12 mph (20 km/h), this check will be delayed until 25 mph (40 km/h). The Anti-Lock Brake System pump motor runs during the self-test, and during an ABS stop, to provide the regulated hydraulic pressure. The motor pump makes a low humming noise during operation; this is normal.

Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle. There may be situations on minor hills with a loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer where the system will not activate and slight rolling may occur, which could cause a collision with another vehicle or object.
474 STARTING AND OPERATING HSA On Manual Transmission Vehicles The system will work in REVERSE, forward gears, and NEUTRAL on manual transmission equipped vehicles. The system does not recognize NEUTRAL on manual vehicles, thus it will hold the vehicle on an incline for a short period while in NEUTRAL, regardless of clutch position. If the vehicle is pointed down hill in NEUTRAL and your foot is not on the clutch, it will roll down hill, HSA will not hold you in this case.
STARTING AND OPERATING 475 WARNING! (Continued) • Failure to follow these warnings may cause the vehicle to roll down the incline and could collide with another vehicle, object or person, and cause serious or fatal injury. Always remember to use the parking brake while parking on a hill and that the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle. HSA Off If you wish to turn off the HSA system, follow this procedure: 1.

498 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMATION Tire Pressure Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
STARTING AND OPERATING 499 WARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Under-inflated tires will increase tire rolling resistance resulting in higher fuel consumption.
500 STARTING AND OPERATING Tire Inflation Pressures The proper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar or rear edge of the driver’s side door. At least once a month: Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressure.” Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a minimum of three hours.
STARTING AND OPERATING 501 inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition. Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pressure build up or your tire pressure will be too low. Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation WARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maximum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail.
