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.
Position your hands on the steering wheel so that your
thumbs and fingers do not wrap around the wheel. This
is particularly important when driving in rough terrain.
The front wheels will move right and left as they
respond to the terrain, and this movement will be felt in
the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could wrench the
steering wheel around, and your thumbs or fingers
could be injured if they are in the way of the steering
wheel spokes.
BRAKING
Braking ability is affected by the type of terrain. In most
cases, gradually application of the brakes is more
effective than abrupt braking, particularly on loose
surfaces like gravel.
Always allow for greater braking distance on rough,
loose, or slippery surfaces.
