As   with   other   Sports   Utility
Vehicle (SUV), failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
Your  vehicle  is  equipped  with
tires  designed  to  provide  safe
ride and handling capability. Do
not use  a  size and  type of  tire
and wheel that  is different from

installed on your  vehicle. It can
affect  the  safety  and  perform-
ance   of  your   vehicle,   which
could lead to steering  failure or
rollover    and   serious    injury.

transaxle.  Do  not  race  the  engine,
and spin the  wheels as little as  pos-
sible. If you are still  stuck after a few
tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a
tow vehicle to avoid engine overheat-
ing   and  possible   damage   to  the
transaxle.
A SUV is not designed for cor-
nering at the  same speeds as
conventional vehicles.
Avoid  sharp  turns  or  abrupt
maneuvers.
CAUTION
In a  rollover crash, an unbelt-
ed   person    is   significantly
more likely  to die  than a  per-
son wearing a seat belt.  Make
sure everyone in the vehicle is
properly buckled up.
Prolonged  rocking   may  cause
engine  over-heating,   transaxle
damage or failure, and tire dam-
age.
