SPECIAL DRIVING
CONDITIONS
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
• Avoid sudden movements in brak-
ing or steering.
• When braking in the four-wheel
drive mode (if equipped), pump the
brake pedal with a light up-and-
down motion until the vehicle is
stopped.
• If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use
second gear or shift the transfer
case (if equipped) into four-wheel
drive. Accelerate slowly to avoid
spinning the drive wheels.
• Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or
other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction
when stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
(If equipped, refer to “Using Four-
Wheel Drive.’’)

NOTICE
Do not pump the brake pedal on
ABS equipped vehicle.
WARNING
- Downshifting
On slippery surfaces, down-
shifting can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tire
speed could cause the tires to
skid. Be careful when down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
Try to drive slowly enough so
you won’t have to make any
sudden changes in gear or vehi-
cle speed.
