Notes: Check the vehicle clearance before crossing obstacles that possibly could damage the undercarriage. If possible use the assistance of a second person. Special attention is needed when crossing obstacles on a steep incline. The vehicle could slide sideways as a result of its possible slanted position. Ruts: Select gear range "1" on the automatic transmission, see page 183. Crossing obstacles: Select gear range "1" on the automatic transmission, see page 183. Cross obstacles (e.g. tree stumps or big rocks) very slowly by aiming one of the front wheels at the center of the obstacle, and repeat same with the rear wheel. Important! Damage on the vehicle definitely increases the chance for a subsequent accident.
