Heavy
loads
on
the
roof
raise
the
vehicle’s
center
of
gravity,
making it morelikely to roll over. You
canbeseriouslyorfatally
injured
if
the vehicle rolls
over. Put heavy
loads
inside the cargo
area, not on
the roof. Keep cargo
in the cargo area
as far
forward and
low as possible.
You’ll find other
important
information
in this manual. See “Vehicle Loading”
and “Tires”
in the
Index.
Traveling
to
Remote
Areas
It makes sense
to planyourtrip,especiallywhengoing
to a remote area.
Knowtheterrainand
plan yourroute.
You are much
less
likely
to getbad
surprises. Get accurate maps of
trails and terrain.
Try to learn of anyblocked
or closed roads.

the other can help quickly.
Does your vehicle have a winch?
If
so,
be sure to read the winch
instructions. In a remote area, a winch can be handy
if
you get stuck.
But
you’ll want
to know how
to use
it
properly.
Getting
Familiar
with
Off-Road
Driving
It’s
agoodidea
to practice in anareathat’ssafeandclose
to home before
you go
into
the wilderness. Off-road driving does require some new and
different driving skills.
Here’s what we mean.
Tune your senses
to different kinds
of
signals. Your eyes,
for example, need
to
constantly sweep the terrain for unexpected obstacles.
Your ears need
to
listenforunusualtireorenginesounds.Withyourarms,hands,feet,and
body you’ll need
to respond
to
vibrations and vehicle
bounce.
