Aggressive driving in any road conditions
can cause you to lose control of your vehicle

increasing the risk of severe personal injury or
property damage. The occurrence of a Traction
Control

௢ event is an indication that at least some

of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the
road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. If you experience a severe road event,
SLOW DOWN.

TRACTION-LOK AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)

This axle provides added traction on slippery
surfaces, particularly when one wheel is on a poor
traction surface. Under normal conditions, the
Traction-Lok axle functions like a standard rear axle.

Extended use of other than the manufacturer’s
specified size tires on a Traction-Lok rear axle could
result in a permanent reduction in effectiveness.
This loss of effectiveness does not affect normal
driving and should not be noticeable to the driver.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION
(IF EQUIPPED)

Brake-shift interlock

This vehicle is equipped with a brake-shift interlock
feature that prevents the gearshift lever from being
moved from P (Park) when the ignition is in the ON
position unless the brake pedal is depressed.

If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of P
(Park) with ignition in the ON position and the
brake pedal depressed:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn ignition key to
LOCK, then remove the key.

2. Insert the key and turn it to OFF. Apply the
brake pedal and shift to N (Neutral)
.
