Driving Off-Road
Driving
off-road can be hazardous
if you fail to take
the
proper
precautions. For example, you can
have an accident
or roll
over
during maneuvers such
as
turning,
driving on hills, or
over
obstacles.
The following pages contain
practical tips
on
basic off-road
operations. They
also
give
important guidelines about
driving on hills, avoiding
obstacles, and other situations you
may
encounter.
Improperly operating this
vehicle off-road can cause an
accident
or
rollover
in
which
you and your passengers
could
be
seriously injured or
killed.
Follow
all instructions
and
guidelines
in this booklet.
Keep
your speed low and
don't drive faster than
conditions permit.
Don't take chances and
be
especially
careful on hills
and rough
terrain.
Starting Off
For
better traction on all
surfaces,
accelerate
slowly
and
gradually
build
up speed. If you
start too
fast on wet
soil, mud, snow or
ice,
you might not have enough
traction to
get underway. On soft
sand,
you
could dig yourself
into
a
hole.
