Automatic transmission 105 Gear changing in high range The road speeds at which gear changes take place vary according to the position of the accelerator; minimum acceleration will result in gear changes at low road speeds, while greater throttle openings will cause the gearbox to delay gear changes until faster road speeds have been reached (there[...]

Automatic transmission 106 ’Manual’ mode Press the mode switch whilst the gearbox is in Low range to select ’Manual’ mode; this enables the transmission to function as a manual gearbox, providing maximum vehicle control and engine braking - ideal for use in severe off-road conditions (the message centre displays ’LM’ along with the sele[...]

Braking systems 107 FOOT BRAKE As a safety precaution, the hydraulic braking system operates through dual circuits. If one circuit fails the other will continue to function, but increased brake pedal travel, greater pedal effort and longer stopping distances will be experienced. Brake pads Brake pads require a period of bedding in. You should avoid[...]

Braking systems 108 ANTI-LOCK BRAKING The purpose of anti-lock braking (ABS) is to allow efficient braking without wheel locking, thereby allowing the driver to retain steerability and control of the vehicle. WARNING ABS cannot overcome the physical limitations of stopping the vehicle in too short a distance, cornering at too high a speed, or the d[...]

Braking systems 109 When ABS stops operating, extra initial pedal travel will be experienced and the ’feel’ of the brake pedal will revert to its non-ABS condition. WARNING Do not pump the brake pedal at any time as this will interrupt ABS operation and may increase braking distance. Ensure that there are no obstructions beneath the brake pedal[...]

Traction control 110 ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL The purpose of electronic traction control is to aid traction when one wheel on an axle spins whilst the other still has good grip, e.g, if one side of the vehicle is on ice and the other is on tarmac. The system works by applying the brake to a spinning wheel in order to transfer torque to the other[...]

Cruise control 111 IMPORTANT INFORMATION • DO NOT use cruise control on winding or slippery road surfaces, or in traffic conditions where a constant speed cannot easily be maintained. • ALWAYS switch off the master switch when you no longer intend to use cruise control. • DO NOT rest your foot under the accelerator pedal while cruise control [...]

Off-road driving 191 WARNING Off-road driving can be hazardous! • DO NOT take unnecessary risks. • Be prepared for emergencies at all times. • Familiarise yourself with the recommended driving techniques in order to minimise risks to yourself, your vehicle AND your passengers. • Remove the CD autochanger (if fitted) before arduous off-road [...]

Off-road driving 192 Slipping the clutch Use of excessive clutch slip to prevent the engine stalling will result in premature clutch wear. Always select a gear low enough to enable the vehicle to proceed without the need to slip the clutch. DO NOT drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal; driving across uneven terrain could cause you to ina[...]

Off-road driving 193 Survey the ground before driving Before negotiating difficult terrain, it is wise to carry out a preliminary survey on foot. This will minimise the risk of your vehicle getting into difficulty through a previously unnoticed hazard. Ground clearance For serious off-road driving ALWAYS remove the bib spoiler extension from the fr[...]

Off-road driving 194 IMPORTANT INFORMATION After driving off-road Before rejoining the public highway, or driving at speeds above 40 km/h, consideration should be given to the following: • Wheels and tyres must be cleaned of mud and inspected for damage - ensure there are no lumps or bulges in the tyres or exposure of the ply or cord structure. ?[...]

Off-road driving 195 Stopping the vehicle on soft ground, in sand or on an incline If you do stop the vehicle, remember: Starting on an incline or in soft ground or sand is almost impossible. Always park on a firm, level area, or with the vehicle facing downhill. To avoid wheel spin, select second or third gear and use the minimum throttle necessar[...]

Off-road driving 196 DRIVING ON ROUGH TRACKS On very rough tracks, engage the LOW gear range to enable a steady, low speed to be maintained without constant use of the clutch and brake pedals. CLIMBING STEEP SLOPES ALWAYS follow the line of the slope; travelling diagonally could encourage the vehicle to slide broadside down the slope. Steep climbs [...]

Off-road driving 197 DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES A. Stop the vehicle at least a vehicle length before the slope, engage LOW range and then select the lowest gear. B. Unless it is necessary to stop the vehicle in order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT touch the brake or clutch pedals during the descent; the engine will limit the speed, keeping the vehi[...]

Off-road driving 198 TRAVERSING A SLOPE Before crossing a slope always observe the following precautions: • Check that the ground is firm and not slippery. • Check that the wheels on the downhill side of the vehicle are not likely to drop into any depressions in the ground and that the uphill wheels will not run over rocks, tree roots, or simil[...]

Off-road driving 199 CROSSING A RIDGE Approach at right angles so that both front wheels cross the ridge together; an angled approach could cause traction to be lost through diagonally opposite wheels lifting from the ground at the same time. CROSSING A DITCH Cross ditches at an angle so that three wheels always maintain contact with the ground (if[...]

Off-road driving 200 After wading Drive the vehicle a short distance and apply the footbrake to check that the brakes are fully effective.
