Driving
Guidelines
This multipurpose passenger vehicle is defined
as
a
utility vehicle in
Consumer Information Regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the United States Department
of
Transportation. Utility vehicles have higher ground clearance and a
narrower track to make them capable of performing
in
a wide variety
of
off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is
a
better view
of
the road allowing you
to
anticipate problems.
They are
not
designed for cornering
at
the same speeds
as
conventional
2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If
at
all possible, avoid
sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure
to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss
of
control or vehicle
rollover.
Off-Road
Driving with Your Four-wheel Drive Vehicle
This off-road guide is for vehicles that have four-wheel drive.
Also, see “Anti-Lock Brakes” in the Index.
If your vehicle doesn’t have four-wheel drive,
you
shouldn’t drive off-road
unless you’re
on
a
level, solid surface.
Off-road driving can be great
fun.
But it does have some definite hazards.
The greatest
of
these is the terrain itself.
“Off-roading” means you’ve left the great North American road system
behind. Traffic lanes aren’t marked. Curves aren’t banked. There are
no
road signs. Surfaces can be slippery, rough, uphill or downhill. In short,
you’ve gone right
back
to
nature.
Off-road driving involves some new skills. And that’s why it’s very
important that
you
read this guide. You’ll find many driving tips and
suggestions. These will help make your off-road driving safer and more
enjoyable.
Before
You
Go
Off-Roading
There are
some
things to do before you go out. For example, be sure to have
all necessary maintenance and service work done. Check to make sure all
underbody shields (if
so
equipped) are properly attached. Be sure you read
all the information about your four-wheel drive vehicle in this manual.
Is
there enough fuel?
Is
the spare tire fully inflated? Are the fluid levels up
where they should be? What are the local laws that apply to off-roading
where you’ll be driving?
If
you don’t know, you should check with law
enforcement people in the area. Will you be on someone’s private land? If
so,
be sure to get the necessary permission.
