Pushing these buttons will adjust the brake control

power output to the trailer brakes in

0.5 increments. The GAIN setting can be increased

to a maximum of ten or decreased to a minimum of

zero (no trailer braking).
GAIN
The GAIN setting is used to set the trailer brake

control for the specific towing condition and should

be changed as towing conditions change. Changes

to towing conditions include trailer load, vehicle

load, road conditions and weather.
Manual Brake Control Lever
Slide the manual brake control lever to the left to

activate power to the trailer's electric brakes

independent of the tow vehicle's brakes. If the

manual brake control lever is activated while the

brake is also applied, the greater of the two inputs

determines the power sent to the trailer brakes.
The trailer and the vehicle's brake lamps will come

on when either vehicle braking or manual trailer

brakes are applied.

pushed using a ballpoint pen or similar

object. Other models have a rectangular

NEUTRAL switch, below the rotary transfer

case control knob. The N (Neutral) indicator

light will blink while the shift is in progress.

The light will stop blinking (stay on solid)

when the shift to N (Neutral) is complete.

After the shift is completed and the

N (Neutral) light stays on, release the

N (Neutral) button.

CAUTION!



DO NOT dolly tow any 4WD vehicle. Towing

with only one set of wheels on the ground

(front or rear) will cause severe transmission

and/or transfer case damage. Tow with all

four wheels either ON the ground, or OFF the

ground (using a vehicle trailer).



Tow only in the forward direction. Towing this

vehicle backwards can cause severe damage

to the transfer case.



Before recreational towing, the transfer case

must be in N (Neutral). To be certain the

transfer case is fully in N (Neutral), perform

the procedure outlined under “Shifting Into

N (Neutral)”. Internal transmission damage

will result, if the transfer case is not in

N (Neutral) during towing.



The transmission must be placed in PARK for

recreational towing.



Towing this vehicle in violation of the above

requirements can cause severe transmission

and/or transfer case damage. Damage from

improper towing is not covered under the New

URFACES

Acceleration

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other

slippery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to

pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon

occurs when there is a difference in the surface

traction under the rear (driving) wheels.

D

RIVING

T

HROUGH

W

ATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to

ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

Flowing/Rising Water

WARNING!

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is

dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden

pulling of the rear wheels. You could lose control

of the vehicle and possibly have a collision.

Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there

is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow, wet, mud,

loose sand, etc.).

WARNING!

Do not drive on or across a road or path where

water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm

run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road

or path's surface and cause your vehicle to sink

into deeper water. Furthermore, flowing and/or

rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly.

Failure to follow this warning may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

RIVING

T

IPS

Care should be taken when attempting to climb

steep hills or driving diagonally across a hill or

slope. If natural obstacles force you to travel

diagonally up or down a hill, choose a mild angle

and keep as little side tilt as possible. Keep the

vehicle moving and make turns slowly and

cautiously.
If you must back down a hill, back straight down

using REVERSE gear. Never back down in

NEUTRAL or diagonally across the hill.
When driving over sand, mud, and other soft

terrain, shift to low gear and drive steadily. Apply

the accelerator slowly to avoid spinning the

wheels.
Do not reduce the tire pressures for this type of

driving.

WARNING!



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s traction capabilities. Do not exceed

5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through

standing water.



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s braking capabilities, which increases

stopping distances. Therefore, after driving

through standing water, drive slowly and

lightly press on the brake pedal several times

to dry the brakes.



Failure to follow these warnings may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

CAUTION!



Always check the depth of the standing water

before driving through it. Never drive through

standing water that is deeper than the bottom

of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.



Determine the condition of the road or the

path that is under water and if there are any

obstacles in the way before driving through

the standing water.



Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving

through standing water. This will minimize

wave effects.



Driving through standing water may cause

damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain compo

-

nents. Always inspect your vehicle’s fluids

(i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for

signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky

or foamy in appearance) after driving through

standing water. Do not continue to operate

the vehicle if any fluid appears contaminated,

as this may result in further damage. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.



Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can

cause it to lock up and stall out, and cause

serious internal damage to the engine. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

CAUTION!

STARTING AND OPERATING

After Driving Off-Road

Off-road operation puts more stress on your

vehicle than does most on-road driving. After going

off-road, it is always a good idea to check for

damage. That way you can get any problems taken

care of right away and have your vehicle ready

when you need it.



Completely inspect the underbody of your

vehicle. Check tires, body structure, steering,

suspension, and exhaust system for damage.



Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and

clean as required.



Check threaded fasteners for looseness, partic

-

ularly on the chassis, drivetrain components,

steering, and suspension. Retighten them, if

required, and torque to the values specified in

the Service Manual.



Check for accumulations of plants or brush.

These things could be a fire hazard. They might

hide damage to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle

pinion seals, and propeller shafts.



After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or

similar dirty conditions, have the radiator, fan,

brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle

yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as

possible.



If you experience unusual vibration after driving

in mud, slush or similar conditions, check the

wheels for impacted material. Impacted mate

-

rial can cause a wheel imbalance and freeing

the wheels of it will correct the situation.

WARNING!

Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may

cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking.

You might not have full braking power when you

need it to prevent a collision. If you have been

operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get

your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary.
