pant.
僅 Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
僅 Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
僅 The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
僅 Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter
the roadway.
僅 In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
僅 Never exceed posted speed limits.

the battery has been disconnected, may
be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal
condition, and the shifting sequence will

For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to
