Lincoln Navigator (2001) four-wheel driving [7/20] Wd or awd operation on the road

rather than attempt a sudden

return to the pavement which

could cause the vehicle to slide

sideways out of control or

rollover. Remember, your safety

and the safety of others should

be your primary concern.

Emergency maneuvers

• In an unavoidable emergency

situation where a sudden sharp

turn must be made, remember

to avoid “over-driving” your

vehicle, i.e., turn the steering

wheel only as rapidly and as far

as required to avoid the

emergency. Excessive steering

will result in less vehicle control,

not more. Additionally, smooth

variations of the accelerator

and/or brake pedal pressure

should be utilized if changes in

vehicle speed are called for.

Avoid abrupt steering,

acceleration or braking. Use all

available road surface to return

the vehicle to a safe direction of

travel.

• In the event of an emergency

stop, avoid skidding the tires

and do not attempt any sharp

steering wheel movements.

• If the vehicle goes from one

type of surface to another (i.e.,

from concrete to gravel) there

will be a change in the way the

vehicle responds to a maneuver

(steering, acceleration or

barking). Again, avoid these

abrupt inputs.
