Performance (connued)
When you power through a turn, you may feel a degree of “under-steer”, the tendency
to straighten the vehicle’s path of travel due to torque transfer to the inner wheel. Sud-
den throle changes during turns will accentuate “under-steer”, especially on slippery or
unstable surfaces. Be sure to maintain cauon and drive carefully under all condions.
Should a slippery or unstable surface be encountered, it will help to decelerate by slow-
ing the vehicle with the engine and only applying the brakes very carefully and only if
necessary. Maintain driving at a slow and safe speed. Smoother throle operaon,
especially while cornering, will help minimize any adverse handling characteriscs.
Avoid unnecessary sharp turns or other abrupt maneuvers that could cause loss of con-
trol. Operated in low gear when coasng downhill, especially into a turn since braking
capacity is usually diminished under this condion. When parking, be sure to always use
the emergency (parking) brake and lock the transmission in “Park” if an automac or 1st
gear in the case of manual standard shi.
You may noce that your vehicle’s driveline “backlash” may increase slightly with the Pow-
ertrax No-Slip Tracon System. The minor delay you experience in your vehicle’s response
due to driveline “backlash”, especially when coasng and quickly depressing the throle,
may also increase slightly. The addional “backlash” is soened by dampening springs
within the Powertrax No-Slip Tracon System and the overall eect may be minimal.
