TURNING YOUR VEHICLE
It is possible for the vehicle to roll over
or go out of control if you attempt sharp,
high-speed turns. You should also be
careful making sharp turns on rough
terrain. Do not attempt to turn around or
make abrupt maneuvers on slopes.
Position your hands on the steering
wheel so that your thumbs and fingers
do not wrap around the wheel. This is
particularly important when driving in
rough terrain. The front wheels will
move right and left as they respond to
the terrain, and this movement will be
felt in the steering wheel. A sudden jolt
could wrench the steering wheel around,
and your thumbs or fingers could be
injured if they are in the way of the
steering wheel spokes.
Braking
Braking ability is affected by the type of
terrain. In most cases, gradually
application of the brakes is more
effective than abrupt braking,
particularly on loose surfaces like gravel.
Always allow for greater braking
