Driving your vehicle

• You must consciously take the

effort to learn how to corner in a

4WD vehicle. Do not rely on your

experience in conventional 2WD

vehicles in choosing safe cornering

speed in 4WD mode. For starters,

you must drive more slowly in

4WD.

• Drive carefully off-road because

your vehicle may be damaged by

rocks or roots of trees. Become

familiar with the off-road conditions

where you are going to drive

before you begin driving.

• Always hold the steering wheel

firmly when you are driving off-

road.

• Make sure all passengers are

wearing seat belts.

WARNING -

4WD

Reduce speed when you turn

corners. The center of gravity of

4WD vehicles is higher than that

of conventional 2WD vehicles,

making them more likely to roll

over when you turn corners too

fast.

WARNING -

Steering

wheel

Do not grab inside of the steer-

ing wheel when you are driving

off-road. Your arm may be hurt

by a sudden steering maneuver

or from steering wheel rebound

due to impact with objects on

the ground. You could lose con-

trol of the steering wheel.
