(

Cross obstacles (e.g. tree stumps or
big rocks) very slowly by aiming one of
the front wheels at the center of the ob-

Obstacles can damage the vehicle un-
dercarriage or suspension compo-
nents. If possible use the assistance of
a second person.

After off-road driving or crossing obsta-

suspension components. Failure to do
so can adversely affect the vehicle's fu-

Special attention is needed when you
cross obstacles on a steep incline.

The vehicle could slide sideways as a
result of its possible slanted position.
