Descending steep hills
•
Select the 4WD mode and descend slowly using
engine braking so that the wheels do not slip.
•
Quick braking can slip the wheels and result in a
loss of vehicle control. Check road conditions
before descending.
•
Avoid gear shifting when descending a hill.
Select the best gear in advance, and maintain
the gear until the end of the descent.
2.6
Crossing a river
CAUTION
•
Do not drive in water. Driving in water can
cause the following problems:
•
Water can get into the rear and front
axles.
•
Water can get into the high-current fuses,
resulting in a short circuit that causes a
fire.
•
Never shift gears while crossing a river.
Although 4WD has many advantageous features, it
is not designed for driving in water. If it is absolutely
necessary to drive in water, select the 4WD mode
and drive as described below to get out of water in
the shortest possible time.
After driving in water, promptly have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO dis-
tributor or dealer.
•
Choose a path where water is shallowest and
drive slowly to avoid making waves.
•
After crossing, check the brakes. If the brakes
do not operate effectively, drive slowly and
lightly depress the brake pedal to dry the brakes
while remaining aware of any vehicles in front of
or behind you.
•
After crossing, check the electric system for any
problems that the water may have caused. Also
observe the recommendations in the following
sub-paragraph describing precautions to be
taken when selecting the 4WD mode.
2.7
If you have driven in water by necessity
•
If you have driven in water by necessity,
promptly have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or
dealer.
•
Immediately check engine, transmission, trans-
fer and differential oil. If the oil looks milky, it is
contaminated with water. Be sure to replace it.
