Lincoln Navigator (2000) four-wheel driving [6/20] Wd or awd operation on the road

4WD OR AWD OPERATION ON

THE ROAD

Basic operating principles

• Do not use 4WD on dry, hard

surfaced roads (except models

equipped with Auto 4WD or

AWD). This may damage the

drivelines and axles.

• Drive slower in strong

crosswinds which can affect the

normal steering characteristics

of your vehicle.

• Be extremely careful when

driving on pavement made

slippery by loose sand, water,

gravel, snow or ice.

If your vehicle goes off the

edge of the pavement

• If your vehicle goes off the edge

of the pavement, slow down, but

avoid severe brake application,

Ease the vehicle back onto the

pavement only after reducing

your speed. Do not turn the

steering wheel too sharply while

returning to the road surface.

• It may be safer to stay on the

apron or shoulder of the road

and slow down gradually before

returning to the pavement. You

may loose control if you do not

slow down or if you turn the

steering wheel too sharply or

abruptly.

• It often may be less risky to

strike small inanimate objects,

such as highway reflectors, with

minor damage to your vehicle
