• You must learn how to corner in a
4WD vehicle as soon as possible.
Do not rely on your experience in
conventional 2WD vehicles in
choosing a safe cornering speed.
You must drive more slowly.
• Drive off-road carefully because
your vehicle may be damaged by
rocks or roots of trees. Become
familiar with the off-road conditions
you are going to drive before you
start.
WARNING
- Steep hills
Driving across the contour of
steep hills can be extremely
dangerous.
This danger can come from
slight changes in the hill angle
which can destabilize the vehi-
cle. Even if the vehicle is main-
taining stability under power, it
can lose that stability if the vehi-
cle may roll over without warn-
ing and without time for you to
correct a mistake that could
cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
- Turning
corners
Reduce speed when you turn
corners. The center of gravity of
4WD vehicles is raised higher
than that of conventional 2WD
vehicles, making them more
likely to roll over when you turn
corners too fast.
