392 STARTING AND OPERATING An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional two-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in off-road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover. OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS Side Step Removal - If Equipped NOTE: Prior to off-road usage, the side steps should be removed to prevent damage. 1. Remove the two nuts from the bodyside. 2. Remove one bolt from the underside of the vehicle.
