Off-Highway Driving Guidelines Important Safety Precautions To avoid loss of control or rollover, be sure to follow all precautions and recommendations. ● Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pavement can cause a crash or rollover in which you and your passengers could be seriously injured or killed. ● Be sure to store cargo properly and do not exceed your cargo load limits (see page 434 and 487). Whenever you drive, make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts. Keep your speed low, and never go faster than the conditions allow. It's up to you to continually assess the situation and drive within the limits. Check Out Your Vehicle 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. Remember 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. CONTINUED Follow all instructions and guidelines in this owner's manual. Keep your speed low, and don't drive faster than conditions permit. ● Driving ● ● ● 501
