Driving Off-Road
Driving off-road can be hazardous
if you fail to take the proper
precautions. For example, you can
have an accident or roll over
during maneuvers such as turning,
driving on hills, or over obstacles.
The following pages contain
practical tips on basic off-road
operations. They also give
important guidelines about
driving on hills, avoiding
obstacles, and other situations you
may encounter.
Starting Off
For better traction on all surfaces,
accelerate slowly and gradually
build up speed. If you start too
fast on wet soil, mud, snow or ice,
you might not have enough
traction to get underway. On soft
sand, you could dig yourself into
a hole.
