Off-Road Precautions
For your safety and the safety of your passengers, please follow
these precautions:
Don't
Modify Your Vehicle
We urge you not to install aftermarket

"lift kits," oversize
wheels and tires, or alter your
vehicle

in any other way that
would

change the vehicle's
suspension

or ride height. Such
modifications can make handling
difficult and unpredictable, and
they could cause you to lose
control, roll over and be seriously hurt

or killed. Wear Seat Belts
Seat belts are just as important
off-road as on pavement. Seat belts can hold you in position onrough
and bumpy trails and when
driving on hills. If you don't wear
your seat belt, you could bounce
around

and strike the interior of
the

vehicle, or even lose control
and crash. Whenever you drive,
make
sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.
If

children or infants are along for
th

e ride, see that they are properly
secured,

and never let a passenger
ride in the cargo compartment. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person
is more likely to die than a
person

wearing a seat belt.
Drive

Smart
Off-road surfaces and conditions
can change quickly and
unexpectedly.
It takes time to
learn

how to read the terrain and
develo

p off-road driving skills. So
always use good judgment. Don't drive faster than conditions
warrant,

and if you ever feel
uncomfortable about a given
situation,

don't do it. Off-Road Driving Information

Reading the Terrain

In nature, visual information comes in unpredictable ways. That means
you need to stay alert, constantly
survey

the terrain, and go slow
enough to analyze situations and make good decisions.
As your eyes search the terrainahead, watch for changes in
surface conditions. Surfaces can
vary

widely, and traction can
change quite suddenly. One
minute

you can be on firm soil
and

the next minute in soft sand
or deep mud. A trail or road can
quickly
change from level to
bumpy.

It can suddenly slope at a
dangerou

s angle, or even
disappear in an unexpected
drop-off. Road

s and trails aren't banked for
turns, and the edges can be steep
berms or drop-offs. When you
drive

down a graded road, watch
ahead for ruts, potholes and washouts.
Some trails can offer
more surprises. A smooth, inviting
trail can suddenly twist
up or down, become very narrow,
be blocked by a fallen tree,
tangled
with roots, or dwindle to a
tight dead-end.
Some areas don't have roads or
trails - just wide open spaces
where

you must carefully choose
your path.
Controlling Speed

Off-road, the general rule is to
keep your speed low. Of course,
you'll need enough spee
d to keep
moving
forward, especially on
sand,

mud, soft snow, and when
starting

up a hill. But too much
speed leads to problems.
At higher speeds you have less
time
to read the terrain and make
good

decisions. You'll also
bounce

more, which makes
controlling the vehicle more
difficult. And there's a greater
chance of sliding if you brake or turn quickly on wet soil, gravel orice

. In any situation, never go
faster
than conditions allow. Off-Road Driving Information

Test your brakes from time to
time
to make sure they are
operating properly. This will also
give you a feel for how much
traction you have on a given surface. Controllin

g Steering
Unlike driving on pavement,
off-road
terrain has a way of
"kicking back." If you hit a rock,
pothole

or a sudden change in
surface
, it can make the steering
wheel
turn rapidly and
unexpectedly. To maintain
control, hold the outside of the
steering wheel firmly with both
hands.

Don't hold the spokes or
hook your thumbs inside the wheel.
You could hurt your hands
as well as lose control. Off-Road Driving Information
