Driving on rough terrain
Whenever driving on rough surfaces such as trails with large
rocks or other obstacles, follow these precautions:
•
Slow down when encountering rough terrain.
•
Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail in front
of you as you drive. Avoid quick, sharp turns which can
cause a loss of control.
• Shift your body weight to counteract the weight of the
vehicle if it tips to one side.
•
Driving with 4WD or 4WD-LOCK engaged can assist in
controlling the vehicle.
Driving over obstacles
Be alert! Learn to look ahead and to read the terrain as you
drive. Be constantly alert for hazards such as logs, rocks, and
low hanging branches.
Never attempt to cross over an obstacle higher than the ground
clearance of the vehicle.
WARNING
Severe injury or death can result if your vehicle comes in
contact with obstacles. Travel with caution on unfamiliar terrain.
