l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con-
ventional braking techniques. Braking
will differ, depending upon whether you
have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As
your vehicle is equipped with ABS,
brake by pressing the brake pedal hard,
and keeping it pressed.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and
avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull
away from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.
CAUTION
l Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly
cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUTION
l The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.
This vehicle is intended for driving mainly
on roads with firm surface.
4WD system makes it possible to drive on
roads without special coverage, on flat and
firm surfaces. Please, remember that off-road
ability of your vehicle is limited. Your vehi-
cle is not intended for driving in heavy off-
road terrain, overcoming the rugged terrain,
deep ruts, etc.
The manufacturer of the vehicle is proceed-
ing from the following assumption: if the
driver makes the decision to keep driving un-
der conditions mentioned above, he takes all
actions at own risk, aware of the possible
consequences.
