84 SAFE OPERATION Driving in Reverse Start the engine following the procedure in the "Starting the Engine" section. Before shifting into reverse, stop the vehicle completely. Refer to the "Shift Lever" section and "Shifting Gears" section. Turn around and look behind you before backing up to be sure there are no obstacles or people in your way. Gradually depress the throttle pedal and begin backing up cautiously. To stop while driving in reverse, release the throttle pedal and gradually apply the brake. Avoid sudden application of the brake. Driving in "4WD" "4WD" gives greater traction when you are climbing steep inclines, or driving on bumpy, sandy or slippery surfaces. It also helps, with the differential locked under certain circumstances, for example, when the vehicle is stuck in the mud. If maximum torque is needed in these situations, shift into the low position with the shift lever. Refer to the "Selectable 2WD/4WD/DIFF-LOCK Shift Switch" section and "Shifting Gears" "2WD/4WD/DIFF-LOCK Shifting" section in the "HOW TO OPERATE" chapter. j NOTE NOTICE Do not operate the shift lever to change gears while driving the vehicle in reverse, or the transmission may be damaged. Remember: żLook behind you before backing up. żDepress the throttle pedal gradually. żTo stop, gradually apply the brake. żDo not drive in "4WD" on paved surfaces. It increases tire and drive train wear and makes the steering feel tight. Remember: żUse "4WD" on steep inclines or loose surfaces, or when stuck in the mud, with the differential locked if necessary. żFor maximum torque shift into low range. żDo not drive in "4WD" on paved surfaces.

SAFE OPERATION
j
Driving in Reverse
Start the engine following the procedure in the
“Starting the Engine” section. Before shifting into re-
verse, stop the vehicle completely. Refer to the “Shift
Lever” section and “Shifting Gears” section.
Turn around and look behind you before backing
up to be sure there are no obstacles or people in
your way. Gradually depress the throttle pedal and
begin backing up cautiously.
To stop while driving in reverse, release the throttle
pedal and gradually apply the brake. Avoid sudden
application of the brake.
NOTICE
Do not operate the shift lever to change gears
while driving the vehicle in reverse, or the
transmission may be damaged.
Remember:
°
Look behind you before backing up.
°
Depress the throttle pedal gradually.
°
To stop, gradually apply the brake.
Driving in “4WD”
“4WD” gives greater traction when you are climb-
ing steep inclines, or driving on bumpy, sandy or
slippery surfaces. It also helps, with the differential
locked under certain circumstances, for example,
when the vehicle is stuck in the mud. If maximum
torque is needed in these situations, shift into the low
position with the shift lever. Refer to the “Selectable
2WD/4WD/DIFF-LOCK Shift Switch” section and
“Shifting Gears” “2WD/4WD/DIFF-LOCK Shifting”
section in the “HOW TO OPERATE” chapter.
NOTE
°
Do not drive in “4WD” on paved surfaces. It in-
creases tire and drive train wear and makes the
steering feel tight.
Remember:
°
Use “4WD” on steep inclines or loose surfaces, or
when stuck in the mud, with the differential locked
if necessary.
°
For maximum torque shift into low range.
°
Do not drive in “4WD” on paved surfaces.
