STARTING AND OPERATING 455 • Normal Ride Height (NRH) - Indicator lamp 4 will be illuminated when the vehicle is in this position. • Park Mode - Indicator lamp 3 will be illuminated when the vehicle is in Park Mode. If Park Mode is requested while vehicle speed is between 15 mph (24 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h), indicator lamp 4 will remain on solid and indicator lamp 3 will flash as the system waits for the vehicle to reduce speed. If vehicle speed is reduced to, and kept below, 15 mph (24 km/h) indicator lamp 4 will turn off and indicator lamp 3 will flash until Park Mode is achieved at which point indicator lamp 3 will go solid. If during the height change to Park Mode, the vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph (24 km/h), the height change will be paused until the vehicle speed either goes below 15 mph (24 km/h) and the height change continues to Park Mode, or exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) and the vehicle height will return to NRH. Park Mode may be selected while the vehicle is not moving provided that the engine is still running and all doors remain closed. ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional two-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. 5
