4-6. Driving tips

 Specific design characteristics give

it a higher center of gravity than
ordinary passenger cars. This vehi-
cle design feature causes this type
of vehicle to be more likely to roll-
over. Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.

 An advantage of the higher ground

clearance is a better view of the
road allowing you to anticipate
problems.

 It is not designed for cornering at

the same speeds as ordinary pas-
senger cars any more than low-
slung sports cars designed to per-
form satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at
excessive speeds may cause roll-
over.

Your vehicle is not designed to be
driven off-road. However, in the event
that off-road driving cannot be
avoided, please observe the following
precautions to help avoid the areas
prohibited to vehicles.

Utility vehicle precautions

This vehicle belongs to the utility
vehicle class, which has higher
ground clearance and narrower
tread in relation to the height of its
center of gravity.

Utility vehicle feature

WARNING

■

Utility vehicle precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

●

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person

is significantly more likely to die than a

person wearing a seat belt. Therefore,

the driver and all passengers should

always fasten their seat belts.

●

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-

vers, if at all possible.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly

may result in loss of control or vehicle

rollover causing death or serious

injury.

●

Loading cargo on the roof luggage

carrier will make the center of the

vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high

speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,

sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers,

otherwise it may result in loss of con-

trol or vehicle rollover due to failure to

operate this vehicle correctly.

●

Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.

Because of its profile and higher cen-

ter of gravity, your vehicle is more sen-

sitive to side winds than an ordinary

passenger car. Slowing down will allow

you to have better control.

●

Do not drive horizontally across steep

slopes. Driving straight up or straight

down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any

similar off-road vehicle) can tip over

sideways much more easily than for-

ward or backward.

Off-road driving

253

4-6. Driving tips

Driving

 Drive your vehicle only in areas

where off-road vehicles are permit-
ted to travel.

 Respect private property. Get

owner’s permission before entering
private property.

 Do not enter areas that are closed.

Honor gates, barriers and signs that
restrict travel.

 Stay on established roads. When

conditions are wet, driving tech-
niques should be changed or travel
delayed to prevent damage to
roads.

■

Additional information for off-road driv-

ing



For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and

Puerto Rico:

To obtain additional information pertaining

to driving your vehicle off-road, consult the

following organizations.

●

State and Local Parks and Recreation

Departments

●

State Motor Vehicle Bureau

●

Recreational Vehicle Clubs

●

U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land

Management

WARNING

■

Off-road driving precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

●

Drive carefully when off the road. Do

not take unnecessary risks by driving in

dangerous places.

●

Do not grip the steering wheel spokes

when driving off-road. A bad bump

could jerk the wheel and injure your

hands. Keep both hands and especially

your thumbs on the outside of the rim.

●

Always check your brakes for effec-

tiveness immediately after driving in

sand, mud, water or snow.

●

After driving through tall grass, mud,

rock, sand, water, etc., check that there

is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone,

sand, etc. adhering or trapped to the

underbody. Clear off any such matter

from the underbody. If the vehicle is

used with these materials trapped or

adhering to the underbody, a break-

down or fire could occur.

●

When driving off-road or in rugged

terrain, do not drive at excessive

speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike

objects, etc. This may cause loss of

control or vehicle rollover causing

death or serious injury. You are also

risking expensive damage to your

vehicle’s suspension and chassis.

NOTICE

■

To prevent water damage

Take all necessary safety measures to

ensure that water damage to the engine

or other components does not occur.

●

Water entering the engine air intake

will cause severe engine damage.

●

Water entering the automatic trans-

mission will cause deterioration in shift

quality, locking up of your transmission

accompanied by vibration, and ulti-

mately damage.

●

Water can wash the grease from wheel

bearings, causing rusting and prema-

ture failure, and may also enter the dif-

ferentials and transmission reducing

the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.

■

When you drive through water

If driving through water, such as when

crossing shallow streams, first check the

depth of the water and the bottom of the

riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and

avoid deep water.

254

NOTICE

■

Inspection after off-road driving

●

Sand and mud that has accumulated

around brake discs may affect braking

efficiency and may damage brake sys-

tem components.

●

Always perform a maintenance

inspection after each day of off-road

driving that has taken you through

rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For

scheduled maintenance information,

refer to the “Warranty and Services

Guide/Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment/Scheduled Maintenance
