Get to Know Your Vehicle
Because every vehicle operates a
little differently, be sure to read
your owner's manual and get
acquainted with your vehicle
before you drive off-road.
If you have 4-wheel drive, you can
use it for better traction and greater
mobility off-road, but remember to
switch back to 2-wheel drive before
you return to pavement.
Whether you have 2-wheel or
4-wheel drive, you need to know
that your vehicle has higher ground
clearance than passenger cars
designed for use only on pavement.
Higher ground clearance has many
advantages off-road. It allows you
to travel over bumps, obstacles and
rough terrain and helps protect
undercarriage components. Since
you sit higher off the ground, you
have a better view of the
surroundings.
Thes e advantages come at some
cost. Because your vehicle is
taller and rides higher off the
ground, it has a higher center of
gravity than conventional cars.
This means your vehicle can more
easily tip or roll over if you make
abrupt turns or drive on sloped
terrain.
Utilit y vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. To
avoid loss of control or rollover,
be sure to follow all
recommendations and precautions
in this booklet.
