STARTING AND DRIVING
170
When travelling on mountain roads (or
down hills), repeated operation of the
brakes may cause overheating, even
to the extent of totally compromising
braking efficiency. Avoid, if possible,
abrupt or repeated braking, changing
gear downwards.
After off-road driving
149)
Off-road driving subjects the car to
greater stress than driving on normal
roads.
After driving off-road, check that the
vehicle has not been damaged. In
particular, check the following:
thoroughly inspect the underbody of
the car. Check the tyres, the structure
of the bodywork, the steering, the
suspensions and the exhaust system to
detect any damage;
inspect the radiator to identify any
residual mud and/or debris: if present,
remove them;
check that the fastening elements
(screws, bolts) for the components of the
transmission, steering, suspensions and
chassis have not become loose: if they
have, contact a Jeep Dealership;
check that no plants or shrubs are
caught up in the car: they may catch
fire or cause damage to pipes, seals and
propeller shaft;
after prolonged use on terrain which
is muddy or sandy or characterised by
water courses or similar, check the
radiator, fan, brake pads and discs and
tyre conditions and clean them as soon
as possible;
if, after use on muddy or sludgy
terrain, vibration is noticed, check that
foreign bodies that may compromise
balance have not become stuck on the
wheels.
WARNING
148)
If the engine stalls, the car skids
or it is not possible to drive in a straight
line on the top of a hill or a road with
a gradient, do not try to do a U-turn
for any reason. This operation would
result in the vehicle rolling over. Back up
on the stretch of road with a gradient,
shifting to reverse and proceeding with
the utmost care. Do not travel downhill
with transmission in neutral and using
only the brake.
149)
The presence of abrasive material
on the brakes may cause excessive wear
or adversely affect its correct operation.
If the car is driven in particularly dusty
environments, have the brakes checked
and cleaned as necessary.
