Before you leave the pavement, be

sure to do all scheduled maintenance

and service, and inspect your vehicle

for any problems. Pay special

attention to the condition of the tires,

and check the tire pressures.

After you return to the pavement,

carefully inspect your vehicle to

make sure there is no damage that

could make driving it unsafe.

Recheck the condition of the tires

and the tire pressures.

The route presents limits (too steep

or bumpy roads). You have limits

(driving skill and comfort). And your

vehicle has limits (traction, stability,

and power).

Driving off-highway can be

hazardous if you fail to recognize

limits and take the proper

precautions.

Debris in the road can damage your

suspension or other components.

Because your vehicle has a high

center of gravity, driving over a large

obstacle, or allowing a wheel to drop

into a deep hole can cause your

vehicle to tip or roll over.

If you can’t clearly see all conditions

or obstacles on a slope, walk the

slope before you drive on it. If you

have any doubt whether or not you

can safely drive on the slope, don’t

do it. Find another route.

If you are driving up a hill and find

that you cannot continue,

. Your vehicle could roll

over. Slowly back down the hill,

following the same route you took up

the hill.

Forbettertractiononallsurfaces,

accelerate slowly and gradually build

up speed. If you try to start too fast

on wet soil, mud, snow, or ice, you

might not have enough traction to

get underway, and you may dig

yourself a hole. Starting with the

shift lever in D position will help you

have a smoother start on snow or ice.

Keep in mind that you will usually

need more time and distance to

brake to a stop on unpaved surfaces.

Avoid hard braking. Do not ‘‘pump’’

the brakes; let the anti-lock braking

system pump them for you.

do not try to

turn around
