Your vehicle has been designed primarily for
use on pavement.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads,
to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar
locations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-
covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving on
steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving
on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas
where the tires may get stuck in deep sand or
mud.

WARNING
Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have lim-
its to the system and ability to maintain
control and traction. Reckless driving may
lead to accidents. Always drive carefully,
taking account of the road conditions.
Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-pavement can cause an accident or
rollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions.
