Driving on poor roads
Principle
Because of its greater ground clearance, the
vehicle can be driven on a variety of road
types and qualities.
Safety information
NOTICE
Objects in unpaved areas, for instance
stones or branches, can damage the vehi-
cle. There is a risk of damage to property,
among other potential damage. Do not
drive on unpaved terrain.
When driving on poor roads
For your own safety, for the safety of pas-
sengers and of the vehicle, heed the follow-
ing points:
– Familiarize yourself with the vehicle be-
fore driving.
– Do not take risks when driving.
– Adjust the speed to the road surface
conditions. The steeper and more un-
even the road surface, the slower the
speed.
– When driving on steep uphill or down-
hill grades: add engine oil and coolant
up to near the maximum mark.
– Avoid body bottom coming in contact
with the ground. The ground clearance
may vary depending on the vehicle load
status.
– When wheels continue to spin, depress
the accelerator so that driving stability
control systems can distribute the driv-
ing power to the wheels. If necessary,
activate the Dynamic Traction Control.
After a trip on poor roads
Note the following to maintain driving
safety:
– Clear heavy soiling from the body.
– Keep the wheels and tires free of mud,
snow, ice, etc., and check them for dam-
age.

age. Please consult the “New Vehicle Lim-
ited Warranty” Booklet for further informa-
