WARNING - Four-wheel
driving
The  conditions  on-road  or off-
road   that  demand   four-wheel
drive mean all functions of your
vehicle   are  exposed   to  more
extreme stress  than under  nor-
mal road conditions. Slow down
and be ready for changes  in the
composition and traction  of the
surface under your  tires.  If you
have any doubt about the safety
of the conditions you are facing,
stop and consider  the best way
to  proceed. Do  not  exceed  the
ability of  yourself or  your vehi-
cle to operate safely.
HILL1
HILL2
When you  are driving  up or  down
hills  drive as  close  to  straight up
and down the  hill as possible. Use
extreme  caution   in  going   up  or
down steep hills, since you may flip
your vehicle over depending on the
grade, terrain  and water/mud con-
ditions.
WARNING - Hills
Driving  across  the  contour   of
steep   hills  can   be   extremely
dangerous.   This   danger    can
come from slight changes in the
wheel angle  which can destabi-
lize  the  vehicle  or, even  if  the
vehicle  is  maintaining  stability
under  power,  it   can  lose  that
stability if  the  vehicle stops  its
forward   motion.  Your   vehicle
may  roll  over  without  warning
and without time for  you to cor-
rect a mistake  that could cause
serious injury or death.
Do not try to drive in deep standing
water or mud since such conditions
can stall your engine and clog your
exhaust pipes.  Do not  drive down
steep hills since it requires extreme
skill to maintain control of the vehi-
cle.
