To avoid loss of control or rollover,
be sure to follow all precautions and
recommendations.

Be aware that a heavy load can
reduce ground clearance and your
ability to clear obstacles.

Keep your speed low, and never
go faster than the conditions
allow.

It’s up to you to continually assess
the situation and drive within the
limits.

Be sure to store cargo properly,
and do not exceed your vehicle
cargo load limits (see pages

and

).

Whenever you drive, make sure
you and your passengers always
wear seat belts.

Your vehicle has been designed
primarily for use on pavement. But
its higher ground clearance allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved
roads, such as campgrounds, picnic
sites, and similar locations. It is not
designed for trail-blazing, mountain
climbing, or other challenging off-
road activities.

If you decide to drive on unpaved
roads, you will find that it requires
somewhat different driving skills.
Your vehicle will also handle
somewhat differently than it does on
pavement. Be sure to pay extra
attention to the precautions and tips
in this section, and get acquainted
with your vehicle before leaving the
pavement.
