DRIVING TIPS
Off-Road Driving with Your Four-
Wheel Drive Vehicle
Before you go Off-Roading
WARNING - Rollover
There are  some things  to do  before
you leave the paved roads. Be sure to
have all necessary  maintenance and
service  work  done   beforehand.  Be
sure to read all the information about
your  four-wheel drive  vehicle  in this
manual. Is there  enough fuel? Is  the
spare tire  fully inflated? Are  the fluid
levels at the  proper levels? What are
the local  laws that  apply to off-road-
ing  where  you’ll  be  driving?  If  you
don’t  know,  you  should  check  with
law enforcement  people in  the area.
Will  you   be  on  someone’s   private
land? If so, be sure to  get the neces-
sary permission.
As   with   other   Sports   Utility
Vehicles (SUVs), failure to oper-
ate  this  vehicle  correctly  may
result in loss of control, an acci-
dent or vehicle rollover.
Specific   design  characteris-
tics (higher ground clearance,
narrower track,  etc.) give  this
vehicle   a   higher   center   of
gravity than ordinary cars.
A SUV is not designed for cor-
nering at the  same speeds as
conventional    2-wheel   drive
vehicles.
Avoid  sharp  turns  or  abrupt
maneuvers.
In a  rollover crash, an unbelt-
ed   person    is   significantly
more likely  to die  than a  per-
son   wearing   a  safety   belt.
Make   sure  everyone   in  the
vehicle   is  properly   buckled
up.
Off-road driving can be great fun. But
it has  definite hazards. The  greatest
of these is the terrain itself.
“Off-roading”  means  you’ve  left  the
paved  road   system  behind.  Traffic
lanes are not marked. Curves are not
banked.
There  are  no   carefully  engineered
road  signs to warn you of dangerous
conditions or to  advise you of  a safe
speed. You have  to assess the  envi-
ronment  yourself.  Surfaces  can   be
slippery, rough, uphill or downhill.
Off-road   driving   involves   learning
new  skills. That’s  why  it’s  important
that  you  read  and  understand   this
section.You’ll find useful driving infor-
mation  and  suggestions. These  will
help make your off-road  driving safer
and more enjoyable.
