. Secure all cargo carried inside the
vehicle and make certain that it is not piled
higher than the seatbacks. During sudden
stops or jolts, unsecured cargo could be
thrown around in the vehicle and cause
injury. Do not pile heavy loads on the roof.
Those loads raise the vehicle’s center of
gravity and make it more prone to tip over.
. Never equip your vehicle with tires
larger than those specified in this manual.

s08ah0202
General precautions:
. Drive carefully. Do not take unneces-
sary risks by driving in dangerous areas or
over rough terrain.
. Slow down and employ extra caution at
all times. When driving off-road, you will
not have the benefit of marked traffic
lanes, banked curves, traffic signs and
the like.
. Do not drive across steep slopes.
Instead, drive either straight up or straight
down the slopes. A vehicle can much more
easily tip over sideways than it can end
over end. Avoid driving straight up or down
slopes that are too steep.
. Avoid sharp turning maneuvers, espe-
cially at higher speeds.
. Do not grip the inside or spokes of the
steering wheel. A bad bump could jerk the
wheel and injure your hands. Instead,
drive with your fingers and thumbs on the
outside of the rim.
. Do not drive or park over or near
flammable materials such as dry grass or
fallen leaves, as they may burn easily. The
exhaust system is very hot while the
engine is running and right after the engine
stops. This could create a fire hazard.
Precautions when driving under espe-
cially dangerous situations:
. When driving over bumps in the road,
drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the
vehicle, etc.
. If driving through water, such as when
crossing shallow streams:
– First, check the depth of the water
and the bottom of the stream bed for
firmness.
– Next, ensure that the bed of the
stream is flat.
– Then, drive slowly and completely
through the stream. The water should
be shallow enough that it does not
reach the vehicle’s undercarriage.
. If you must rock the vehicle to free it
from sand or mud, depress the accelerator
pedal slightly and move the select lever
back and forth between “D” and “R”
repeatedly. Do not race the engine. For
the best possible traction, avoid spinning
the wheels when trying to free the vehicle.
. Do not perform the following opera-
tions. Doing so may cause the transmis-
sion to overheat or malfunction.
– Depressing the accelerator pedal
and brake pedal at the same time while
the select lever is in a position other
than “P” or “N”.
– Depressing the accelerator to hold
the vehicle in a stationary position
while on a slope and while the select
lever is in a position other than “P” or
“N”.
– Trying repeatedly to drive over a
bump that the vehicle cannot climb
over.
. When the road surface is extremely
slippery, you can obtain better traction by
starting the vehicle with the transmission in
2nd than 1st. Refer to “Selection of Manual
Mode” �P373.
. Do not rotate the tires at a high speed if
the vehicle is stuck due to muddy, snowy,
icy, or similar low-traction conditions, or if
any tire is not touching the ground. Doing
so may cause the tires to burst or lead to
an accident due to abnormal overheating
or damage to drivetrain components.
. On rough roads and roads with large
undulations, have a leader guide you, or
check the road surface in advance to
select a road where the ground will not
