When  hazardous  driving conditions
are   encountered   such   as   water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
This  multi-purpose  passenger vehi-
cle  is   defined  as  a   Sports  Utility
Vehicle (SUV).
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, while driving  on slip-
pery   surfaces   can  cause   an
accident. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the  tires
to skid.  Be careful when  down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
SUV’s have higher ground clearance
and a  narrower track  to make  them
capable of performing in a wide  vari-
ety   of  road   applications.  Specific
design  characteristics  give  them  a
higher center of gravity than ordinary
vehicles. An advantage of the higher
ground clearance  is a better view  of
the road,  which allows you to  antici-
Drive  cautiously  and   allow  extra
distance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.

designed for  cornering  at the  same
speeds  as  conventional  passenger
vehicles. Due to  this risk, driver  and
passengers    are   strongly   recom-
mended to buckle their seat belts.  In
a rollover crash,  an unbelted person
is  more likely  to  die than  a  person
wearing a seat belt.  There are steps
that a driver can make  to reduce the
risk  of  a rollover.  If  at  all  possible,
avoid sharp  turns or  abrupt maneu-
vers, do not  load your roof rack  with
heavy cargo,  and never modify  your
vehicle in any way.
If  stalled  in snow,  mud,  or  sand,
use second gear. Accelerate  slow-
ly   to   avoid  spinning    the   drive
wheels.
Use sand, rock  salt, tire chains, or
other  non-slip  material  under  the
drive  wheels   to  provide   traction
when stalled in ice, snow, or mud.
