Note:
Your AWD vehicle is not intended for off-road use. The AWD
feature gives your vehicle some limited off-road capabilities in which
driving surfaces are relatively level, obstruction-free and otherwise
similar to normal on-road driving conditions. Operating your vehicle
under other than those conditions could subject the vehicle to excessive
stress which might result in damage which is not covered under your
warranty.
For AWD vehicles, a spare tire of a different size other that the tire
provided should never be used. A dissimilar spare tire size (other than
the spare tire provided) or major dissimilar tire sized between the front
and rear axles could cause the AWD system to stop functioning and
default to front wheel drive.
Do not become overconfident in the ability of AWD vehicles.
Although a AWD vehicle may accelerate better than two-wheel
drive vehicle in low traction situations, it won’t stop any faster than
two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.
How your vehicle differs from other vehicles
Utility Vehicles can differ from some
other vehicles in a few noticeable
ways. Your vehicle may be:
•
Higher – to allow higher load
carrying capacity.
•
Shorter – to give it the capability
to approach inclines. All other
things held equal, a shorter
wheelbase may make your vehicle
quicker to respond to steering
inputs than a vehicle with a
longer wheelbase.
