Engine braking
Engine compression braking is designed to as-
sist you when operating your vehicle off- road.
With this feature, the engine helps slow the ve-
hicle down after you take your foot off the ac-
celerator. Engine braking is more noticeable in
four-wheel drive. Application of vehicle brakes
provides additional stopping power.
Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine is
running and the drive select lever is in any gear.
There is a risk of injury because:
Children or others may accidentally press
the accelerator pedal.
Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the accelerator pedal.
The parking brake may not keep the vehi-
cle from accelerating.
Unwanted vehicle movement can cause serious
injury or death, and it may be dangerous to try
to stop the vehicle.
Parking on a flat area
When parking on a flat area, stop the engine
and shift the drive select lever into the neutral
position. Apply the parking brake to help pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling.
