Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒ Introduction to the
subject
The vehicle's center of gravity affects its rollover characteristics. Since the vehicle
has higher ground clearance for off-road driving, its center of gravity is also higher than that
of standard passenger cars. The higher center of gravity increases the risk of vehicle rollover
while driving. Always keep this in mind when driving. Heed the safety information and warn‐
ings in this Manual ⇒Safety notes when driving off-road .
The vertical distance between the level ground and the lowest part on the vehicle
⇒ .
The number of feet (meters) in altitude gained when traveling about 328ft (100m) is
given as a percentage or in degrees ⇒Fig.119 . The maximum slope the vehicle can climb
unassisted depends on road surface and engine power.
The maximum angle the vehicle may be driven across terrain without
the vehicle rolling over (depends on center of gravity) ⇒Fig.120 .
Maximum permitted angle given in degrees that a vehicle driven at low speed can
clear a ramp without the underbody of the vehicle scraping the ramp ⇒ .
The approach and departure angles are the transition from flat ground
to a slope, or from a slope to flat ground. The maximum angles (in degrees) the vehicle can
be driven at low speed along an embankment without the bumper or underbody scraping ⇒
.
The vertical drop route.
Articulation capability of the vehicle while driving on one side over an object.
WARNING
Never exceed the recommended maximum values listed for the vehicle ⇒Dimensions .
Exceeding these values will result in serious personal injury and/or damage to your vehicle.
