388 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:
When shifting the power transfer unit out of NEUTRAL (N),
the engine should remain off to avoid gear clash.
9. Shift the transmission into PARK.
10. Release the brake pedal.
11. Disconnect vehicle from the tow vehicle.
12. Start the engine.
13. Press and hold the brake pedal.
14. Release the parking brake.
15. Shift the transmission into DRIVE, release the brake
pedal, and check that the vehicle operates normally.
16. Re-enable the Auto Park Brake feature, if desired.
NOTE:
Steps 1 through 5 are requirements that must be met before
pushing the NEUTRAL (N) button, and must continue to
be met until the shift has been completed. If any of these
requirements are not met before pushing the NEUTRAL
(N) button or are no longer met during the shift, the
NEUTRAL (N) indicator light will flash continuously until
all requirements are met or until the NEUTRAL (N) button
is released.
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode for a shift to
take place and for the position indicator lights to be oper-
able. If the ignition is not in the ON/RUN mode, the shift
will not take place and no position indicator lights will be
on or flashing.
A flashing NEUTRAL (N) position indicator light indi-
cates that shift requirements have not been met.
DRIVING TIPS
On-Road Driving Tips
Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of performing in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design charac-
teristics give them a higher center of gravity than conven-
tional passenger cars.
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view
of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems. They are
not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conven-
tional passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily in off-road conditions.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehi-
cles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle rollover.
