Driving Guidelines

Your vehicle has higher ground

clearance that allows you to travel

over bumps, obstacles, and rough

terrain. It also provides good

visibility so you can anticipate

problems earlier.

Because your vehicle rides higher off

the ground, it has a high center of

gravity that can cause it to roll over if

you make abrupt turns. Utility

vehicles have a significantly higher

roll over rate than other types of

vehicles.

To prevent rollovers or loss of

control:

●

Take corners at slower speeds

than you would with a passenger

vehicle.

●

Avoid sharp turns and abrupt

maneuvers whenever possible.

●

Do not modify your vehicle in any

way that would raise the center of

gravity.

●

Do not carry heavy cargo on the

roof.

See page 528 for off-highway driving

guidelines.

Preparing to Drive

You should do the following checks

and adjustments before you drive

your vehicle.

1. Make sure all windows, mirrors,

and outside lights are clean and

unobstructed. Remove frost, snow,

or ice.

2. Check that the hood is fully

closed.

3. Visually check the tires. If a tire

looks low, use a gauge to check its

pressure.

4. Check that any items you may be

carrying are stored properly or

fastened down securely.

5. Check the seat adjustment (see

page 161).
